Note to Researcher: The five pieces of stone were selected from the debris collected during the project by the Planning, Design and Construction Department of Campus Facilities with the hope of providing a sample of stone types as well as evidence of previous repair techniques.
Series 4. - C:0/45/9 (A22-37)
This Series contains a piece of architectural masonry from Memorial Tower, (ca. 1920s). The masonry piece is a finial from one of the four pinnacles running along the north side of the tower between the corner spires. The dimensions of the finial are roughly 11 inches x 9 inches x 14 inches.
(1 c.f., Ellis)
Note to Archivist: The finial was received from Heiddi Davis, Director of Capital Planning and Strategic Space Utilization in the University's Division of Finance. Correspondence in the donation file outlines the possiblities of whether this finial is from the original construction in the 1920s.
