Chemistry Building (historic) and John Mackay Statue, ca. 1911

This view shows the profile of the Mackay Statue, viewed from the east, with the historic Chemistry Building and the caption on the image reading, "Contemplation." The first Chemistry Building is shown at a distance with the portico of the Mackay School of Mines Building and the Mackay Statue in the foreground. The Chemistry Building was built in 1902 and used for chemistry classes until 1930, when it began to serve as a general reserve building. The Agriculture Extension Service remodeled it and occupied it in 1936. It was torn down in 1957 and replaced by Ross Hall (photographic print, 4.5 x 7 inches).
