Description

A quaint scenic, sunset picture take on the campus of the University of Massachusetts, Amherst campus shows the campus pond and the gorgeous, historic old chapel library. It was built in 1884 and cost $25,000. It served as a library, museum, and assembly hall. The Richardson Romanesque style building, constructed by Stephen C. Earle, has over the years been home to numerous academic departments and, most recently, the UMass Marching Band. The original bell, "Old Aggie" was added in 1892 but was replaced by 44 Carillon bells. The grass surrounding the pond is a popular place for students to hang out and relax, catch a few rays or read a book or possibly do some studying. It was one of my favorite areas on campus during my 4 years there in the late 70's - early 80's.
