Decade: 1920s

Chicago Avenue residences Bolton and Kaufman halls, with the Kaufman dining hall between them, in the 1930s.

Before the College acquired the Fort Hill Campus in 1923, the area was the Heatherton Estate owned by North-Western supporter Judge John S. Goodwin. Seen here is a bucolic scene of the pond and barns before the College constructed athletic fields (and, later, Merner Field House) on the site.
