Since its founding in 1873, the McDonogh campus has undergone significant changes and continues to grow today. This aerial photograph from c. 1960-1965 provides a striking example of how the over 800-acre campus has changed in the past 60 years. In this photo, Allan Building stands atop Shell Road, Lyle Building is situated along the Flag Court, and Tagart Memorial Chapel is the centerpiece of the southeastern corner of campus. While these early buildings are still a part of the current landscape, other structures have been redesigned or replaced since this photo was taken. Edwards Gym has been replaced by the Burck Center for the Arts; the Rollins-Luetkemeyer Field House sits adjacent to Memorial Field House, and the Memorial to Those Enslaved and Freed sits along the south end of Allan Building.
