Description
A photo of the Amelia Gorgas Library taken after a snow storm in December 1929. The library was named after Amelia Gorgas, one of the first librarians, after the new building opened in 1925. The building which also housed administrative offices was built with funds from the Million Dollar Campaign.
In 1939 the current Gorgas Library was build on the site of the first library that was destroyed during the Civil War. The old building continued to house administrative offices until 1971 when Rose Administration was completed. The old building was renamed Carmichael Hall.
