The road (1), that red and white tower (2), and that building (can't remember the name) that looks like a bell tower (3) to the right of McFarlin. That is the bell that got moved to Bayless Plaza, isn't it...or am I remembering it wrong.
I always thought the sweet ones were the 67-68 models, but I think you’re correct.Isn’t that a really sweet Mercury Cougar?
Before I click on this, I'm not going to see Geraldo Rivera down there looking for the contents of Al Capone's vault, am I?Apparently the 'U' changed in 1976 with the addition of the big underground annex. The World did a nice article on it when they were debunking or verifying Tulsa myths in 2017
Can the University of Tulsa not build anything on the McFarlin Library lawn?

Folklore. There is no such restriction. At one point Stead had plans to build there as part of the pivot to the new U. I don’t even think the portraits are in the doorways anymore.Is it also true that the University can’t construct anything between the portraits of John and Lottie Jane Mabee so that the can still “see” each other from their respective dorms?
John was as of 2009 I believe. I never went in the front entrance of Lottie. lol.Folklore. There is no such restriction. At one point Stead had plans to build there as part of the pivot to the new U. I don’t even think the portraits are in the doorways anymore.

I’m pretty sure the one in the John is still there, but not in the entryway anymore facing out to the U. Haven’t been inside in about five years.Lottie’s was there as recently as 2019. I would be very surprised if either has been removed.
The white building (?) at the end of the drive... Is that part of the entrance to the old student union??
Asbestos. Couldn’t be remediated, as I recall. They tore it down my sophomore year. I still have a piece of the debris.The building to the north of the library was Westby Center, the old student union - which wasn’t that old then. I was surprised when it was cast aside and removed.
How large a chunk of asbestos did you get? 😜Asbestos. Couldn’t be remediated, as I recall. They tore it down my sophomore year. I still have a piece of the debris.
