Broome-Kirk Gymnasium, photo 1

This image shows the northern entrance to the Broome-Kirk Gymnasium, built 1955, from the front, with some view of Appalachian Street lined with parked cars in the foreground. The Broome-Kirk Gym housed the Department of Health, Physical Education and Athletics at Appalachian State Teachers College (1929-1967), and was also known as the Broome-Kirk Health and Physical Education Building. It was demolished in the early 2000s to make way for the new Central Dining Hall, completed in 2008.
