Show Students gather around the stairs and entrance of Ferry Hall. The photo has been taken from a southwest angle. Three rows are positioned on the grass in the foreground to the center. The first row sits, while the second and the third stand. As the line moves to the right, the students are turned away from the camera more. Other students cluster on the stairs beyond. Some individuals stand up in line on each of the three tiers of the stone wall behind the crowd alongside the stairs, including President Reherd in his usual hat at the center. In the distance, there is Converse Hall to the left, and before it there is a tree covered in leaves. The background is mostly composed of sky. |
| Further Information |
The photograph is in good condition. The top right corner is a little bent, and the lower left corner is a little frayed. There is a narrow white border around the photo. "1918-19" is written in black ink on the left margin. On the back there is some dried glue and the numbers "21-22" are written in pencil. A purplish stamp in the center reads "SHIPLERS [,] COMMERCIAL PHOTOGRAPHERS [,] SALT LAKE CITY". Ferry Hall began construction on October 10, 1907 and was finished two years later due to lack of funding. The hall bore the name of Colonel William and Jeannette Ferry, Park City residents who contributed $15,000 of the $25,000 needed to erect the hall. The Ferry's were also a crucial factor in securing the land (in 1901) that Westminster College calls home today. Ferry Hall was originally built to be a women's dormitory; however, it served many functions throughout the years such as cafeteria, classrooms, administration offices, and terminal room for the computer center.
