Lady’s dorm room at UW-Madison in 1898. She kept everything prim and proper!
Here is a single room in Chadbourne Hall in 1899. We love the details here: the father and mother’s portraits, the oversized books, and the amazing mirror.
Here is a view inside a Cornell upperclassmen’s room around 1902. What a space – there’s even a fireplace!
