Bookstore, first, interior, photo 4

This image shows the interior of the College Bookstore, built 1934, at Appalachian State Teachers College (1929-1967). Four people can be seen standing in what is possibly the snack bar area, two turned away from the camera. The man standing on the left is possibly coach Francis Hoover. 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.
