Kropp Company (#288)
Postmark: November 6, 1911, Valparaiso, Indiana
Collection: Steven R. Shook
Remark: This postcard appears to be designed
by F. Earl Christy. Science Hall was constructed in 1900 to house the Science
Department. In 1959, the building was renamed Baldwin Hall in honor of Samantha
"Mantie" Baldwin, who was a very influential and well regarded faculty member of
the university prior to its purchase by the Lutheran church. After the
Department of Science moved to Neils Hall in 1967, Baldwin Hall housed the Art
Department. The Art Department later moved to the University Center for the Arts
in 1996; Baldwin Hall was razed the same year.
