This Very Good Video, Will Help You Understand Forthcoming Photos Of The INTERIOR Of Bascom Hall,

….Titled => ”Bascom Hall, University of Wisconsin Madison. May 4, 2016.”

…. Unfortunately the video is only 33 seconds, and way too short. ((SIDE NOTE: Forthcoming Photos discuss Asphalt Tile Flooring. … At the very end of this video, you can well see the lines between the individual 8 x 8 inch tiles, on the floor. This will help you understand just what this kind of flooring looks like.))

….To Left in View /\ Above /\, you can see door way to Receptionist Office, AND The LOWEST of Wooden Steps To The Second Floor, Shown in Nest THREE Photos.
….((SEE NEXT PHOTO, FOR HOW TO VIEW DARK PHOTOS.))

….The Very Helpful Receptionist, carefully listened to the ideas of Sarah Jennings Field Research, and readily agreed to help Henry Gurr find and photograph Sarah’s Old Office.

….In View /\ Above /\, especially notice that the Door Frames are Painted a “Modernized” ~Seashell White, and approximately the same painted hew as the walls. In addition notice the Light Colored Hardwood Flooring (boards parallel to the walls), on both sides of the Rug. As you will see in the next photos (May 2016), interior modernization of Bascom Hall was underway: It can be assumed that what is seen /\ Above /\, is an example of what will result.

…AND as you will see in the FOURTH Next Photo Etc => This is in direct contrast to the UN-Modernized Older Parts of Bascom Hall, where 1) The Wooden Doorframes & Other Wood Trim are Varnished Natural Wood, dating back to the original construction of the building. And ….And 2) The flooring is Asphalt Tile, probably dating back to the 1950’s.

SOME ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES TO NOTICE IN THE /\ ABOVE /\ PHOTO.
..1) The Varnished Natural Wood On => a) Door Framing, b) Base Board, and c) In The Distance TWIN Special Arched-Passageway Framing, that marks an architectural transition to a different part of the building. A forthcoming photo will show a second example of these Twin Arches.
..2) The Over Head Fire Sprinkler Plumbing Pipe & Electrical Conduits, as well as the Electric Illumination: These were most likely not there, in Sarah’s years1921-1923 .
..3) You see shovel, broom, and blue flexible air duct: These are construction equipment used for renovation, of the older parts of the Bascom Hall:
..4) Soon all of the Varnished Natural Wood, will be replaced by “Modernized” ~Seashell White, as seen (and mentioned) the Previous Photo With Doorway To The Receptionist Office.
..5) ….Please look closely at the very END of the Hallway => Notice the Sunshine “Glowing” Frosted Glass In Door, AND ALSO the “Glowing” Frosted Glass, ABOVE & ON BOTH SIDES, of this door.

Cont Fm Previous Construction Equipment Photo:
8:26 am Tuesday May 24, Asphalt Tile Removed, Exposing Smooth Diagonal Under-Boards, Bascom Hall, University of Wisconsin, Madison WI, 53706.

Photographed In Process => Renovation Of The Older Parts Of The Bascom Hall:
..1) In View /\ Above /\, you see construction worker & shovel, being used for removing 1950’s Era Asphalt Tile Flooring. Look close, and you can see Planer Smooth Diagonal Under-Boards (also 1950’s Era) that were added to the original building construction, to support the Asphalt Tile Flooring.
..2) The NEW flooring likely will be the Light Colored Hardwood Flooring (boards parallel to the walls), as was seen (and mentioned) the Previous Photo With Doorway To The Receptionist Office.

….In Sarah’s 1921-1923 years, the floors for both halls and rooms, most likely were rough-sawmill-cut wooden boards (oriented parallel to the hallway walls), perhaps Varnished or Wax Polished.

….A web page which discusses flooring says => “Asphalt tile arrived on the scene in the [mid] 1920s and, by the 1950s, was the most widely used floor tile on the market, fuelled by low initial cost and easy installation. These tiles were tough, durable, highly resistant to abrasion and moisture, and fire resistant, but the styles and patterns were limited.”

A Typical view of the Varnished Natural Wood Doorways, Along Long Halls Walked To Get To Sarah’s Office.
….In the /\ Above /\ Office Door, Notice the Sunshine “Glowing” Frosted Glass Window In Door, AND the “Glowing” Frosted Glass Windows ABOVE & BOTH SIDES (Except that the camera did not include the right window ).
…The light from this Frosted Glass, which on purpose illuminates the hallway, comes from outdoor sunshine illumination. In all older buildings, before electricity, all rooms had ample windows for sunshine illumination from outdoors.

In Photo /\ Above /\ “The International Division” Office Door, Please Notice The Frosted Glass Windows ABOVE & BOTH SIDES of the Door! This Sends Signal That This Is NOT => A Typical Small Professor’s Office, Like Sarah’s Office.
….This office is in the Southeast, corner of Bascom Hall, and would be well illuminated by exterior windows on both the East Wall and South Wall. Plus being a “Corner Office”, makes it architecturally easy to make a larger than normal office complex.

Look Closely At The TOP OF /\ Above /\ Photo, To See An Interesting Feature Of “Old” Buildings:
.. A Glass Window” ABOVE The Door Frame, is called a “Transom Window, examples of which are above and several forthcoming photos. In each case, you can see The Door Glass & the Transom Window are “glowing”, from Sun Illumination.
Wikipedia Fully Explains WHY Transom Windows Were Important => ….In architecture, a transom is a transverse horizontal structural beam or bar, or a crosspiece separating a door from a window above it. A transom window is also the customary U.S. word used for a transom light, the window over this crosspiece.
…. Transom windows which could be opened to provide cross-ventilation while maintaining security and privacy (due to their small size and height above floor level) were a common feature of apartments, homes, office buildings, schools, and other buildings before central air conditioning and heating became common beginning in the early-to-mid 20th century. [Also Transom Windows, in addition to Frosted Glass in the Door, helps provide more Illumination into Hallways, in the era prior to Electric Lights.]

…. The Lady In Distance, Is The Receptionist Who Agreed To Show Henry Gurr & His Camera The Way To Sarah’s Office. She Is Standing Beside Door To Sarah’s Office.

SOME ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES TO NOTICE IN THE /\ ABOVE /\ PHOTO.
..1) The Varnished Natural Wood On => a) Door Framing, b) Base Board, and c) In The Distance Special Arched-Passageway Framing, that in this case Has a Frosted Glass Semicircular Window. This marks an architectural transition to a different part of the building. A forthcoming photo will show a similar example of this for Twin Arches.
..2) The Over Head Fire Sprinkler Plumbing Pipe & Electrical Conduits, as well as the Electric Illumination: These were most likely not there, in Sarah’s years1921-1923 .
..3) ….Please look closely at the very END of the Hallway => Notice the Sunshine “Glowing” Frosted Glass In Door, AND ALSO the Door with “Glowing” Frosted Glass Window, & above this door “Glowing” Transom Window.
..4) If you study the Bright Illumination in the Frosted Door Window, you can make out the Rectangular Shape of the Outdoor Window that by Sunshine Illuminates. You can even “see into “Frosted Colorings” and Imagine Exterior Buildings!!
..5) As stated previously, Office Doors With Illuminated Translucent Glass Windows, on purpose also illuminates the hallway: This light comes from outdoor sunshine illumination. In all older buildings, before electricity, all rooms had ample windows for sunshine illumination from outdoors.
..6) And can see the walls are ~Seashell White, similar to that seen (and mentioned) the Previous Photo With Doorway To The Receptionist Office.
..7) Also, you can see, the Diagonal Under-Boards, because the Smooth Asphalt Tile Flooring, has been removed.
..8) The Electric Light Fixture, hanging from the ceiling, is 1930’s Style. It is possible that Sarah saw these halls illuminated by Electrical Lighting. This is because 1920’s were early in the general adoption of electric lighting, and Madison WI, by this time had Coal Fired Steam Electric Power Generation.
