Erwin Hall, built in 1845 on the campus of Marietta College in Marietta, Ohio, anchors this view of students posing in front of it. The college was founded in 1835 and is among the oldest in the state, in a town settled in 1788 where the Muskingum River meets the Ohio. The caption card gives no date for the photograph, so its exact year is uncertain, but the scene offers a glimpse of everyday campus life beside one of the school's early buildings.
