Welborn Cafeteria, 1959

This image shows a slightly out-of-focus view of Welborn Cafeteria, built 1925, at Appalachian State Teachers College (1929-1967) on January 12, 1959. A field, where an extension of I. G. Greer Hall would later stand, is in the foreground. Originally known as Central Dining Hall, it was known as simply as "the Cafeteria" since 1938, until being renamed Welborn in 1981. Renovations and additions were made in 1958, 1965, 1968, and 1988. It was demolished in February 2009 after the completion of the new Central Dining Hall.
