SUB Ballroom

SUB Ballroom

 Circa 1936

This is an image of the interior of the old Student Union Building's Ballroom.  This building later became the Anthropology Building after the construction of the current SUB.  The tin chandeliers and carved vigas were hallmarks of the Spanish-Pueblo Revival style.  Laura Gilpin, a renowned western photographer, arranged this photograph.  Her work received acclaim at worldwide photography exhibitions, and she had an interest in Native American and Mesoamerican lifeways.
