Description

View 1909 University Of Michigan Walks in Campus Postcard Ann Arbor MI Diag with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. Ann Arbor had grown steadily as the university expanded, and by 1909 it was already recognized as one of the Midwest’s leading centers of higher education. The campus greenways shown here were designed to feel park-like, softening the edges of otherwise busy academic buildings and creating spaces that encouraged strolling and conversation. This view looks along one of the shaded pedestrian routes threading through the University of Michigan’s Central Campus, a landscape shaped by long rows of elm and maple that framed the early academic core. Scenes like this were common along the Diag paths where students and faculty crossed between recitation halls, libraries, and laboratories.
