Clara Booth Byrd, Alumnae Secretary, stands at front entrance of Alumnae House. Photo taken between 1937 and 1947; hand tinted. This building opened in 1937 and is considered an excellent example of neo-Georgian architecture. It was designed by Penrose V. Stout and modeled after Homewood in Baltimore, Maryland. The building was called the Alumnae House from 1937 to November 1972, when the name was changed to the Alumni House.
