is mostly still there. I aligned all the buildings in this photo with the 1912-1913 Sanborn map (Vol. 9 - Sheet 26). The campus had two buildings with a 5-story central tower facing west. The prominent central building is gone. But the building to the left, generally within the corner of Euclid and Adelbert, is still there, although the roof and dormer windows have been reconfigured, so it's not an exact match today.

The building on the left is called Adelbert Hall and was destroyed by fire in 1991 and rebuilt soon afterward. The next building was called "Case Main" and it was raised in 1972 and it sandstone used to make the fountain outside of Yost hall.

The third building is a bit of a bafflement.

Adelbert Hall was named after Amassa Stone's son drowned while a student at Yale in 1865.

(The Case Institute of Technology (known in 1908 as the Case School of Applied Science) and Western Reserve University did not merge until 1967.)

Compared to today's circles, are these folks are going the wrong way around?

Any idea who it is prominently displayed in the background? Could not seem to pin down anything in the modern views of Euclid Avenue. Maybe moved elsewhere?

Goodness! It looks we have a streetcar track bisecting a roundabout which is being shared by a horse-drawn van, an automobile, and a bicyclist. Who will be the first one involved in an accident?
