Elevated view of the Highland Park College campus in Des Moines, Iowa, with several large brick buildings, a central hall topped by a tower, lawns, and trees. A street and a small entrance kiosk sit in the foreground. The college occupied a site in the Highland Park neighborhood north of downtown and operated in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The image presents the grounds as an orderly, park-like setting, the kind of promotional view schools used in the period to attract students.
White margin around image; light pink staining/foxing in sky and on buildings; small printed publisher mark at lower left.
