Temporary Auditorium in Central Hall, circa 1920
A panoramic view of the "Temporary Auditorium" in Central Hall under the present auditorium. Construction on Central Hall had begun prior to 1920, but by that year President Quigley moved scarce funds to construct (old) Colorado Hall, a badly-needed women's dormitory. Upper floors of Central Hall would be completed in 1927 connecting North Hall (WSC) and South Hall (Gunnison High School.)
