This timeline highlights the history of each building in greater detail. The backgrounds are color-coded, signifying if the building photographed was demolished, renovated, or largely unchanged. Each description gives insight into early student life and academics at Carleton in the first half of the 20th century. Shedding light on these stories uncover new details that the average Carl isn’t aware of.
The Carleton story will continue to evolve as new memories are made, but we shouldn’t lose sight of its beginnings—it was those early, incremental steps that shaped the campus into what it is today.
