We couldn't resist another BU Yesterday picture of the BU Bridge -- metallic, not italic -- especially not this garishly colored 1930s postcard lent to us by Sargent College Dean Emeritus George Makechnie. Beyond the vintage autos and the absence of the Massachusetts Turnpike Extension, the most striking difference six decades makes in this view is that there was no Storrow Drive back then. Note, too, the building to the far right. Built in 1931 as an office building for Shell Oil, it was occupied for many years by Sargent College, and now by Boston University Academy. |
