For the really old timers, was there ever a time when the Union seemed nice? Same goes for Middleton. Those buildings are such embarrassments now and have been for generations.

I entered LSU in 1064 and I think that may have been the first year it was open. It was very nice imo. I ate a lot of meals there and made a lot of Sunday night phone calls from the pay telephone room. Just my opinion though.

I was a small-town kid freshman in 1975. I thought it was great. I spent a lot of time in the listening rooms where they had all kinds of music. There were little concerts (Billy Joel). It really was a great place, but we didn't have any concept of great as it relates to today. My son goes rock climbing! But it was a big world for us.

John Jacob Desmond was the architect. You can see the "brutalism" theme on many of the buildings he designed for the Baton Rouge, and Hammond area.
One of his hobbies was pen and ink drawings. I have one of Parlange Plantation that he did.
