Prospect Hall

History

Prospect Hall is a dormitory that was built in 1959. It was named for the hill at the foot of which it stands. I had no images of Prospect Hall in my collection, so I took the above photo from the bridge near the Mandelles, and this photo from its parking lot, on September 7, 1998. I have since found postcard images of Prospect.

Divided back, postmarked with a Clark University 75th Anniversary postmark on Jun 20, 1962 in Worcester, MA. "I'm up here for my 55th college reunion. Our room overlooks this little pond, so that we go to sleep with a frog chorus and awake with the songs of birds. Harriet E. Roe (written at college) (I had my finger on the wrong name. Sorry!)" A reference to the addressing of the card, which had a large strike-out.
