Mountainlair during Construction, West Virginia University
Date:
ca. 1965- 1971
Description:
'This is the picture Vic Haines thinks shows where Reynolds Hall was or is torn almost to the ground (evidence the crane) and Mountainlair is being constructed at the same time. This remains a question. It looks like most of it is Mountainlair, all the way. But Mountainlair also isn't that near the sidewalk, so it may be that it is???? The type of cars makes it seem Mountainlair.'
