---I need proof that the bricks of the "OLD" Martin Hall were red---I started in '63 and they I think were just tearing it down but seems that I remember yellowish!!!

Don't know if this is proof enough, but it is a pic that I got from a recent Facebook post. Bricks look pretty red to me......

I can tell a spot color touch up after my years of photo journalism----This was when the bricks were red but they had turned yellowey by the time I got there!!!!! lol---As always it is not what I see or you see but what the color be!!!!

The photo looks colorized.

In the thread linked the photo is b&w but bricks sure look light. https://forumeus.com/...Campus-1901-02

Maybe colorized, but then why color them red, if they were tan?

Probably because they didn't know any better.

Hmm, I found this picture on the web of the old Martin Hall. If you look closely it looks like the front of the building is red but the back of the building is that yellowish/tan color. Was the back of the building an add-on or was it always part of the original Martin Hall? Perhaps those gates were added around the time that (potential) add-on was constructed.

Here's another picture I found from the same site. To be honest I can't tell what color the bricks are in that picture.

Thanks CajunRebel

Looks like red bricks to me.

That was a beautiful building.

Although I have never seen that Martin Hall until now, I somehow miss it????
