Spotswood Hall Residents

Spotswood Hall Residents

Madison College, students, residence hall, Spotswood Hall

Girls sit and chat in a Spotswood dorm room. Plants decorate the windowsill and what appears to be a fishbowl sits on top of a bookshelf on the left. All the girls sport curled and coiffed hairdos. A doll and a leather or wooden box sit on the top shelf of the right bookshelf and a sewing kit is on the bottom shelf. Many students were expected to repair their own clothes, especially if this picture was taken during wartime when cloth was rationed.
