- Title:
- Photograph of land being cleared for the new library at Iowa State College
- Date Created:
- 1922-10
- Description:
- With funding secured in 1919, it wouldn’t be until 1922 that real movement started on a new fireproof library building. In September of that year, the Board approved architectural plans by Proudfoot, Bird, and Rawson, and the next month, the ground was cleared, and excavation started for the foundation. The following spring, the foundation was poured, and the ironwork for the superstructure began going up. On October 11, 1923, an informal ceremony was held for the laying of the cornerstone of the building. Classes were dismissed at 11:30, followed by short speeches by a number of dignitaries, and a time capsule was placed in the cornerstone.
