A large brick dormitory with gabled rooflines, bay windows, and a tall chimney stands behind a lawn shaded by mature trees. The building is Hughes Hall on the Iowa State College campus in Ames, Iowa.
Iowa State College, now Iowa State University, was a land-grant school known for agriculture and engineering. Hughes Hall served as a residence hall on the growing campus, and the view shows its scale against the quiet, tree-lined grounds.
