Historical Images of Porter County

Law School Building, Class Rush
Valparaiso, Indiana

Date: February 4, 1909
Source Type: Postcard
Publisher, Printer, Photographer: Unknown
Postmark: March 19, 1909, Valparaiso, Indiana
Collection: Steven R. Shook
Remark: This building was located at 355 Greenwich Street and was razed around 1940. The Northern Indiana Law School was organized by Mark L. DeMotte in 1879 and now is part of Valparaiso University. The building in this postcard image has been made to appear that it is in disrepair with fake broken windows, old doors brought to the site and set outside the building, and furniture scattered about the grounds. The postcard message on the reverse suggests that "dead men" were laying on the grounds, too, but were removed before the photograph was taken.
