Crouse Memorial College, Syracuse University

Crouse Memorial College, often known as simply Crouse College, was constructed in 1889. At this time, it was the third building on the Syracuse University campus and was the tallest structure in the city. Crouse was home to the United States' first College of Fine Arts, and today it is known for its College of Visual and Performing Arts. This vintage photograph of the historic building was captured in 1904, when the building was just 15 years old.

Over a century old, the original glass negative this photograph was made with had started to accrue the wear and tear of time. Working from a digital scan of the glass negative, the Old Town Print Gallery team has digitally restored this beautiful photograph, repairing damage, removing dust and dirt, and correcting fading. Having brought this image back to life, our reproduction prints reflect the original, pristine condition of the image. We use only the highest-quality materials for our prints; both our paper and canvas options are archival, museum-quality materials, rated to last 100+ years. 

If you have any questions about our prints or would like to request a custom size, don't hesitate to reach out! We're happy to accommodate custom requests whenever possible, though this may require cropping the image.
