Administration Building, second, fire aftermath, photo 10

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