The new Women's Building is shown with Marys Peak in the background. The architect, John Bennes, competed with 13 other architects for the design of the building. The building was completed in 1926. It is made of brick manufactured in Monroe, Oregon.
The photo shows the Monroe Street (north) entrance to the Engineering Laboratory which was completed in 1920. It originally included a materials lab, a hydraulics lab, and a steam and gas engine lab, all served by a 5-ton electric crane. Building was designed by John Bennes and named for alumnus and long-time faculty member Samuel Graf, who chaired the department of mechanical engineering from 1934 to 1954.
