Electric Light Towers at Girard College - 1887-1926


1898






Men and Women Watching Soldiers

(Though I think a more appropriate title for photo might be "Girard College students' mothers and alumni watching student cadets in 'Drills' on Founder's Day.")






Washington Star 2 May 1909

Saw these towers in some photos and wondered what they were.

A lot of cutting edge high tech lighting to protect the 1,528 inmates in its day. Not an invasion of Tripods.
