The Moore Collection Book | |
| The Moore Collection book,
featuring the Franklin T. Moore photographs (1892-1902) is now available
at: The AUB Press: Diana Tamari Sabbagh Bldg., Room 408 Tel.: 961 1 340460 ext. 2516 Fax: 961 1 363234 Email: aubpress@aub.edu.lb Web: www.aub.edu.lb/php/aubpress/ site/index.html Dr. Franklin T. Moore began photographing the campus in 1892, as it was in those years. He showed the upper campus buildings in various stages of completion: Dodge Hall before the addition of its extension, the Lee Observatory in its lonely seaside location, the Assembly Hall before Post Hall was built (1897). His camera captured the vast size of the new campus, the undeveloped northeastern mountains, the unpaved Bliss Street, the illustrated history of growth that intrigues and attracts for its beauty and because of the changes which have taken place over the last century. |
