Scope and Contents

RG021_05_04_0010. One postcard; color; 5.50 in. x 3.50 in.; divided back. Published by the Sanborn Souvenir Co., Denver, Colorado. This color postcard shows the exterior of Colorado State College of Education's library. The original library was located in the Normal School Building (later renamed Cranford Hall). The University's first stand alone library opened in 1907 and emulated Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's home in Virginia. The University received WPA funds in 1937 to remodel the library transforming the architectural style from the "classical to the 'moderne'." The building was renamed Carter Hall in 1944 in honor Albert F. Carter who served as the University's librarian from 1901-1934. Text on the back reads, "The Colorado State College of Education specializes in preparation for the teaching profession. Its beautiful tree shaded campus covers several blocks forming delightful settings to its many beautiful buildings." This postcard was transferred from RG15 S10, Folder -- Carter Hall.
