Bookstore, first, snack bar, 1958

This image shows the interior of the snack bar in the College Bookstore, built 1934, at Appalachian State Teachers College (1929-1967) in 1958. A line of students are standing in front of a glass display case holding prepackaged snacks, while two women serve drinks behind the display case. The College Bookstore was housed in 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.
