Past Post: Aeroplane View Of U.W. Campus

This week we’ve had Jenni Pertuset and Deran Ludd write in with some great old postcards. Now I feel like I have to get my act together and show something from my archives, lest I should be out of a job. This 1929 card shows the University of Washington Campus and the site

of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition. By ’29 most of the buildings were already destroyed — though you can see

    I love the spelling of “aeroplane”, which my spell check underlined. I wonder which second lake the card refers to?

    Although the postcard was sent in 1929, this view is from 1922 or earlier. The original Suzzallo Library building, which started construction in 1923 and opened in 1926, is just an empty patch of dirt in this image.

    Interesting that all the main buildings are white. Is that for real? Parrington and Denny Halls were once white?

    RPH: Washington (well, Union Bay) and Union (well, Portage Bay). Fnarf: I believe so!

    Isn’t Aunt Annie missing a couple of words in that question?
