Such great pics - so interesting. I’ll give it a go. iPad is being wonky so I apologize in advance if the picture quality is flawed or the image is non-existent. All are of the same place.

Stanford

I guess the pic of the (in)famous Leland Stanford Junior University Marching Band was just a dead give-away

Actually it was the Taco Bell architecture in the top photo. :rofl:

On that bridge…

OK, OK, that English-half-timbered-looking structure is an obscure photo. Here’s the scoop:

It’s called Faculty Club, located at one edge of the Carleton College campus. It serves as quiet-area housing for students, as well as some housing for faculty/distinguished visitors-in-residence.

It was assembled from three separate houses in the 1920s, connected together by screened-in porches/walkways. My understanding is that the structure on the right was once lived in by D. Blake “Stewsie” Stewart and then moved to help create the complex. Stewsie – for many years Carleton’s head grounds foreman – lived to be 100, and in the 1920s Stewsie was the major force in creating the college’s 800-acre Arboretum, turning farmland into arboreal forest and, over recent decades, some restored prairie. Into the mid-1970s, Stewsie would post a notice outside of Willis Hall alerting everyone when his beloved lilacs were in bloom on Lillac Hill.

That’s a really nice college concert hall.

I believe the top one is Reed College (in The Canyon). One of my cousins went there. Nearly went there myself back in the 80s. Ended up at Carleton, over 1500 miles away, instead.
