Cars are parked along the streets outside of Jordan Hall

Description:	Cars are parked along the streets outside of Jordan Hall. In the 1990s, most of these parking spaces were removed and replaced with landscaping. The October 1928 issue of The Alumnal Quarterly included an article titled Introducing a New Butler, which described the new building for people who were not able to visit it in person. Face to face with the Jordan Building, you are struck with awe by its massiveness. There is nothing petty about this structure. There was no meanness of spirit in the men who conceived it. Those walls are three feet thick. The reinforced concrete foundation is from twelve to twenty-two feet deep and is capable of supporting a twenty-story building. Examine that ruddy, gray stone closely, for you will not see much of it in this part of the country. It was shipped from quarries near Salisbury, North Carolina, and is known among builders as the granite eternal. The surmounting field of Indiana limestone gives a weathered touch that emphasizes the Gothic dignity of the whole (p. 130).
