Collection: Steven R. Shook
Remark: Note that between 1900 and 1906, today's Valparaiso University was known as Valparaiso College. 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 later became a college within Valparaiso University in 1907. The law school discontinued operations in 2020.

The building housing the law school, seen in this image, was originally the private residence of Northern Indiana Normal School and Business Institute professor Felix Ekblad, a former head of the fine arts department. This building continued to serve as the home of the law school until it was moved into the Law-Arts Building..
