Administration Building, second, fire aftermath, photo 7

This image shows remains of the second Administration Building on December 30, 1966, the morning after it was gutted by a fire. Rubble can be seen through the windows in the interior and cold weather caused the water used to put out the fire to freeze overnight around the building. The building had been built in 1924, and was located on the Promenade, approximately where the first Belk Library, built 1968, is located.
