Description
This is a black and white photographic print of the Deerpath Hall lounge and front of the building (facing southeast). People can be seen in the window of the lounge. As built in he mid 1950s, Deerpath had a capacity 148, a Rec. Room, and a Lounge.
The Chicago architects Naess & Murphy created a modern structure in red brick that was planned not to upstage the 1892 all-red-then Durand Institute. Its success architecturally was in its self-effacing character, simple lines and secondary position to the already architecturally significant Durand Institute (Henry Ives Cobb).
Note also the sympathetic softening shrubbery around the Lounge wing, mitigating the otherwise abrupt character of the style.
