Automobiles approach from the west on Lincoln Way in around 1940. Lincoln Way is a two-lane street, not to be widened to four lanes until 1963. To the right of the road can be seen dormitory buildings on the campus of Iowa State College with the tall structures in the center being from left to right: the smokestack from the college power plant, the campanile, the rotunda of Beardshear Hall, and Marston Water Tower.

The view to the west on Lincoln Way from a point just west of the Squaw Creek bridge in the late 1930s or early 1940s. In those days, the area beyond the trees to the right held portable hog shelters. Note the view of the Iowa State campus as well. Later, that view would be obscured by the Maple-Williow-Larch residence hall complex (built in 1967-1971). Barton Hall (erected in 1916) is seen in the left of this photo, as is Marston Water Tower in the distance. [190.1076.2 and 190.1076.3 are not the same photograph, though they were taken in exactly the same location at slightly different times--the automobiles on the road are not identical.]
