Mount Holyoke Afire

Mount Holyoke Afire examines three devastating blazes that had a significant impact on the College in 1896, 1917, and 1922. This show looks at the photographic record of the original Seminary building, Williston Hall, and Rockefeller Hall before, during, and after the fires and uses objects to reconstruct what daily life was like in these buildings and contextualize what was lost.
