EDITORS COMMENTS
This 8 x 10 inch photograph captures LaSell Gymnasium at Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts between 1900 and 1906. The gymnasium, named after college benefactor Elisha LaSell, was a significant addition to the Williams College campus during this period, reflecting the growing importance of athletics and physical education in American colleges. The architectural style of LaSell Gymnasium is characterized by its red brick exterior, large arched windows, and tall chimney. The building's design was influenced by the Collegiate Gothic style popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The gymnasium featured a large open space for indoor athletic activities, including track and field events, as well as a basketball court. The photograph shows the gymnasium's exterior, with its grounds stretching out behind it. Trees and shrubs dot the landscape, adding to the picturesque scene. The glass negative, likely a dry plate process, captures the details of the building's brickwork and the texture of the trees and foliage. LaSell Gymnasium was a significant part of the Williams College campus during this period, providing students with a facility to engage in physical activity and athletic competition. Today, the gymnasium remains an important part of the college's heritage, serving as a reminder of the importance of physical education and athletics in American higher education. This photograph is part of the collections of the Library of Congress and offers a unique glimpse into the history of Williams College and the architectural style of the early 20th century.
