This 1942 shot from the 35th floor of the Cathedral of Learning shows all the "Acropolis Plan" buildings that were constructed. Top left is Pennsylvania Hall (now the site of a residence hall of the same name), just below it on the upper far left is the Mineral Industries Building (now demolished), State Hall is at the bottom right (now the site of Pitt's Chevron Science Center), and in center just behind and left to the roof of Sailors and Soldiers Memorial is Thaw Hall which is the only remaining building from the "Acropolis Plan". Pitt's Eberly Hall (then called Alumni Hall) is the long building in the center. It was the first building to deviate from the "Acropolis Plan". Pitt's Allen Hall (the former home of Mellon Institute) can be seen in the middle far left. The hill campus, much as it existed in this photo, was the main focus of student life from 1909 to the construction of the Cathedral of Learning.
