[Unidentified Girl Standing on a Baluster]

Snapshot of a girl standing on the baluster of a Victorian-style house. She is smiling broadly and the wind is whipping the tie of her dress uniform. In the background a young woman is sitting on the porch and another is entering the house. The library has numerous photos (A-155 through A-165), all of the same size, that appear to have been removed from a scrapbook with black pages. Most are taken all on the same front porch. The others are taken in various locations. The girls appear to be high school age.

Several women near the steps of the Household Arts Building at Texas State College for Women. The three-story brick building has six columns with Ionian capitals.

The Legislature appropriated $75,000 for it, and the building was occupied with the opening of the 1913-14 school year. Additions, repairs and changes subsequently may have brought the total cost of the building to approximately $100,000. The building was the home of the Department of Home Economics.
