ANOTHER CAMPUS SCENE
Fred Jones Jr Art Museum on campusGoing the Extra Expense
When frontier town planners built their main thoroughfares, the more prominent buildings used towers, fancy entablatures and probably oriel or bay windows in their architecture. Some of the original bay windows from Norman's historical district still remain on their facades. An additional expense to the proprietor, such windows were created to allow more light to shine into the parlors (except perhaps in this instance, now that the building has been taken over by a modern law firm). Like many of the other older buildings, the original owner (here, Alden) retains his name in the entablature.
