when was that pool built? it looks '20's or '30's, the detail is great. is that a koi pond at the end?
1932, built during the time of, and named after, Huey P. Long. In classic Louisiana fashion, we abandoned it for years and there is an ongoing effort to try to save the facility.
If it weren't so sad, it would be laughable. This article is already 3 years old. Perhaps others have updates.

I think there were only two, the President's mansion and the guardhouse by the library. The ashes of the burned campus are in little hill behind the library. When I was there that is where all honors inductions were held.
No, there were four. In addition to the President's Mansion and the Round House, the Gorgas Home and the Observatory/Maxwell Hall, which is the building directly behind the new Deke House, were also spared.

Is that what they did with the location of the old Flagship Hotel?
Thats exactly what they did with it. I have lived in Galveston for the last two years and have always lived close by, over the last couple years there has been a big push making Galveston a lot nicer. Now we just need some casinos.

Oh Gawd NO pls!!!! Galveston has so many great old houses and the strand is nice, in a redneck biker kinda way. Casinos will "F" it up. also the Firtittas might as well be crowned Mafia of Texas, they are already unbearable to deal with now.

That giant lathe near Samford Hall at Auburn was the first hole of a frisbee golf course my friends and I created. We'd play in the summer when there wasn't as much traffic. We had 18 holes that wound from Toomers corner down toward Foy and Haley around Parker and up past the arch/bldg science buildings, across the street behind the music buildings and back down toward the library, up College St and ended behind the aerospace building.
Ahhh, memories of wasting time...
If your car got hit by a frisbee from 98-02, I do apologize.

My bad, I forgot. Thought the Gorgas house was newer. Anyway I always thought it was cool that the remains of the University were buried and the mound composed of that was used for honor induction.....TRADITION.

That would be me. I am still trying to figure out how they got a picture of that place when it was that empty!

Lazy hippies...should have just driven to hogansvill. Nice course in the middle of the woods. Perfect for the other recreational activities that go along with playing disc golf

Yep. It's going to be amazing but I hate that the house I lived in for 2 years and had some great times in will be gone.
Bella - do you know any that were there when I was? Email their names if you do.

Gorgas House is another. One of the first buildings built when the University was founded
