New Historic Photo Display in Mackenzie Hall

“Pop” AllenA series of sixteen photographs illustrating the history of Mackenzie Hall and the campus architecture of Ellis F. Lawrence has recently been hung in the main foyer of Mackenzie Hall. The images document the explosive growth of the Marquam Hill campus over the eighty-eight years since the erection of the first building in 1919 and showcase the original beauty and grandeur of Lawrence’s architectural designs. All of the photographs were drawn from the Historical Image Collection in OHSU Historical Collections & Archives, which contains over 15,000 images depicting the history of OHSU and the history of the health sciences in the Pacific Northwest.

This display has been a project of the OHSU History of Medicine Society and Historical Collections & Archives, with additional support provided by Medical Photography. Questions about the images can be directed to Sara Piasecki, History of Medicine Librarian, at 503-418-2287 or piasecki@ohsu.edu.
