I believe this is Hurst Hall sometime between 1918 and 1920. If you went to AU, how does this compare to the building today?

The university has a good history section on their own website that you should check out.

Took four or five classes in there – from international law to WWII Treaties. May have slept through some of those classes. Trees are a lot taller now!

As a 2012 AU grad, I can tell you the building looks exactly the same (slightly worse for wear though, as you might expect).
