Western State College, Escalante Terrace
Wow Photo Wednesday
Wow. This photograph has so many wonderful things about it ~ as eye-catching abstract art dividing space in stark contrasts of dark and light; as documentation of the Colorado architect, William C. Muchow, whose collection we hold here at the Library; and as a look at what a college campus looked like in 1960, in Gunnison, Colorado. A picture speaks a thousand words - and our photo database contains a zillion stories.
Here is more information about the William Muchow Architectural Records, and here are more photographs of Western State College, Escalante Terrace, in Gunnison, Colorado.

Great photo and information Randel!
I adore this photo. Nice choice, Randel!
Thanks y'all - yes, this one caught my eye. . .
Wow! Blast from the past. This was my dorm in 1967. And I always thought it was a great looking space too. Thanks for picking this picture.
THAT is so cool! It really brings it to a new level to make a connection like that. You probably can recognize everything in the other photos of that same campus ~ nice
Stay Tuned!
