I’m serving up two early photos from the University of Washington campus. First up, you’ll find the Chimes and Observatory. The chimes from the tower were a gift from A.J. Blethen (see his house
here) and rang until the tower burned down in the late 1940’s. The 1895 built Observatory is still in use (see
photo). Next up is Denny Hall, built in 1895 and site of the University’s first administration building. It is also still in use today (see
photo). Click on the images for high-res copies.

Strictly speaking, wouldn’t one be looking northwest, northeast, southwest, or southeast toward Denny Hall? Isn’t the Quad angled? (I assume those are Raitt and Savery halls flanking Denny.)

From the photo with Denny hall, the “viewer” would be looking northwest, roughly. While the Quad is “angled”, so is Denny hall. That is Savory on the left, Denny in center, and Raitt on the right.
