La Fayette, Purdue University, Heavilon Hall

We told you we tell the stories, so here’s one for you about this card, mailed in 1942 with stamp and local postmark:  Heavilon Hall was dedicated in 1894 and burned down four days later.  Rebuilt by 1895, it (what you see here) lasted until 1956 when the building was demolished–with clock and bells placed in storage.  The original bells and restored clockworks have been incorporated into the latest Heavilon Hall, completed in 1995.  So there!  Grade: 1
