UL "McIlhenny" Campus circa 1939 - 40

I noticed the oak trees lining the campus were only about 30 years old in those pictures. Doesn't look like baseball is being played in the quad anymore. Can't determine where the baseball field was.

The baseball field was about where Gerard "PARK" (the garage) is now.

Looks like it and McNaspy were in the early stages of development.

-Now that was one crazy baseball layout as the track caused an indention making CF actual come in a shorter distance---It was also the football practice field in the Fall and the scene of Faulkinberry's "Black Friday" where much of the team left before, during, and even some after the practice!!!!

Following the burning of Brown-Ayres (which used to house the architecture/art departments), the baseball diamond was removed and Fletcher Hall built in it's place.

I guess this is also when the Tigue was 'born?'

There is a 65-66 campus aerial shot and the hedges really show what you are talking about.
