Title	Thompson Hall ca. 1930
Date	ca. 1930
Description	A photograph looking at the west facade of Thompson Hall, WSU Building #1. Thompson Hall, originally the Administration Building, is the oldest extant building on campus, designed by noted Seattle architect, James Stephen and his Chicago trained partner, Timotheus Josenhans. It is prominently sited and immediately identifiable by its two large towers, one truncated and one with conical roof. The romantic Victorian Romanesque character of the building is further enhanced by rich variety of windows and entryways and the use of rock-faced granite (quarried near Spokane) for its contrasting trim. It formally opened January 1, 1895 at a cost of $50,000.
