907 Lincoln The Alpha of Michigan 1979 These photos are from a project I did for History of Art 212, Appreciation of Architecture, Spring semester 1979. The project was to highlight the design features of a building. Regrettably, because the project was to focus on the building, most of the photos do not have people in them. In hindsight showing people living in the building would have enhanced the analysis. I want to thank Brother Scott Kelly for taking the trouble to send me the project by mail in May 2018, only 39 years after I did it. Neither Scott nor I have any idea how he ended up with the package, and it's nothing short of a miracle that Scott still had it after all these years. He was kind enough to recognize that it might still have some value to me and contacted me on Facebook to find out where he could mail it. I was a senior that semester. I would then live in Sigma Phi place one more summer before moving out to seek my place in the outside world.
