Deerpath Hall (1956 - 2000) - Exterior
Description
Black and white photo of Deerpath Hall before the 2001 renovation with the photographer facing northeast. Students are gathered outside the front entrance. The Deerpath lounge is facing out towards the photographer with the main building containing students' rooms. Judging by the amount of leaves on the ground and the bare trees, this image seems to be taken during late fall, early winter.
The architects for this first new building on North or Middle Campus since the 1930s were Naess & Murphy, modernists who a few years earlier had designed 1350-1360 N. lake Shore Drive, Chicago, early International Style lakefront tall apartment buildings, breaking with historic style vocabularies. The building was all red brick and with no windows on the west side facing the corner of Deerpath and Sheridan Road, to avoid upstaging the all-red Durand Institute from the west.
