San Diego State College in the 1950s.  My first year at State, in 1962, it looked like this.  If you drove north on College Avenue you took a leisurely drive right past the Administration Building and on around the north side of the campus if you chose.  Quetzal Hall, with its unique architecture, can be seen at the southeastern corner of the parking lot, where College Avenue comes up out of Mission Valley and turns south.

From the Evening Tribune, December 4, 1937

Quetzal Hall in 1942.  Looks like maybe
they had stores on the ground floor.

I think these two shots date to 1992

And this one to 1993 -- or maybe it was the
other way around.  At any rate, there are
students lined up to take advantage
of the textbook buyback at
KB Books in this photo.
