    Union House - East Elevation c.1950
    (1950)
    Union House and lawns taken from near Monterey Cypress in late 1940s. Copy of photograph included in the 1993 UMSU exhibition "Union House: An Architectural History" in the George Paton Gallery. Exhibition wall text reads: "This photograph shows some of the building additions made in 1936, particularly to the North end which housed the new Union Theatre stage. The new Union boasted facilities unequalled by other Australian universities. 'It was the Victorian Arts centre in embryo', historian Marjorie Tipping [wrote]. 'The Union Theatre and common rooms were available for experimental drama, string orchestras, jazz bands, Russian ballet, recitals, art films, lectures, debates, musical recitals and recordings on the new Carnegie gramaphone ... Radical and conservative philosophies on the arts were discussed with passionate dedication, and these discussions were often related to contemporary political and religious issues.'"
