Here is an interesting link I stumbled across last night. www.flickr.com/photos/shookphotos/page176/The first couple of pages are mostly about VU.....a little after that it expands to pictures/postcards from around Valpo between 1890-1960. (Ymca, hospital, the old jail, opera house, railroad stations, hotels, lakes, etc). I don't know how they got a lot of the pictures but there are some interesting ones. enjoy! |

Thanks! Interesting photos. Which VU could have kept some of those really old buildings, but most were probably gone by 1930.

Actually many of them were around till about 1980 (like what is called "Science Hall") which we knew as Baldwin I think. Remember most classes were still held on old campus except for Engineering, law and science classes, which were on new campus. Those old buildings, like Heritage, would have needed to be basicly torn down to save them. Just didn't make sense to try to save a wood structure with no sprinklers etc, which just made for fire traps. |

I recognize Lembke, but the old Admin builiding and Science Hall I don't recall. Was there from the fall of '83.

Does anyone remember when Valpo truly was an "ivy" school. Some of the older buildings had enough ivy growing on them as the buildings of those schools in the famous "ivy" conference on the east coast.
