Description
-
A unique photograph of the main entrance of the old 50 W Main Street Campus of RIT in Downtown Rochester. Pictured here are Edward P. Curtis, Dorothy Wadsworth, Gene de Prez, Loma Allen, and two unidentified individuals about to enter the building for an open house. This campus was home to many different work spaces that allowed students access to a wide swath of topics from engineering to applied arts. The space was acquired by RIT in 1961 and was used to house the Colleges of Generalized Studies and Business. A historic building - 50 West Main was transformed from the Kodak Naval Ordnance Plant as a manufacturer of weapons to what then RIT President Paul A. Miller called a “Metropolitan Center”.
