You've hardly changed

Some probably know it as the chemistry lecture hall; others may think of it as 1002 Gilman. However you look at it, the look -- fashion and haircuts aside -- is remarkably similar, despite the passage of time. "Chemistry Hall" was completed in 1913 and named for former Iowa State faculty member Henry Gilman in 1973. These photos of the lecture auditorium were shot in 1915, 1954 and 2004.
