Bookstore, first, interior, photo 1

This image shows the interior of the College Bookstore, including shelves displaying office supplies, and a display case. A customer stands in the background at the counter. The old College Bookstore, built 1934, occupied a room in the hallway of the second Administration Building, built 1924, until 1934, when it moved into a brick building at the corner of Locust St. and College Ave., where the current University Bookstore is located. In addition to renting and selling textbooks, it also provided Appalachian State merchandise, supplies, and refreshments, while the second floor provided space for three apartments. A snack bar was added in 1955. In 1967, the building was demolished to make way for a new, larger University Bookstore, completed in 1969.
