- Browse each map by clicking and holding while panning, and by using the scroll wheel. Select each time-period from the left hand menu. When zoomed in, single click in a building’s footprint to see information and photos (if available) of each building. Zoom into a location and explore the buildings at each time period. Examine the footprints and details of the buildings.
- Of particular interest is the corner of College Ave and S. Allen St. In 1906 you can see the multiple businesses in the Nittany Inn (currently the Corner Room). On campus you will see the Mechanical Engineering Department building (affectionately called “Old Engineering”). Old Engineering burned down in 1918 and in the 1922 map you will see the Engineering units A through E and in 1929 the addition of the Main Engineering Building, now called Sackett Building. In 1915 there was a fire on the first block of E. College Ave and it hadn’t been rebuilt by 1922, but in 1929 you can see many new and enlarged buildings constructed of brick (pink) on that block.
