I have finished scanning in all the cyanotype photographs (all of them dated “circa 1885” and all of them labeled “Knox County” or “Knox College”.)
I can say I have my serious doubts on the location of them. Why? The “Track Meet” pictures kill the idea this was at Knox College. The envelope is labeled “Track at Knox” but does not pass the test. Here are the pictures first.
Nice Track.
Amazing stands! Too bad Knox, in 1885 to 1890 had nothing like this. What Knox had was the original Gym, build by students, paid for by students, not at all a covered track with multi-story viewing. This was NOT at Knox College. But there are more pictures.
Oh, this is so not at Knox. This next pic could be (but is not if it is the same meet.)
I am going to post another group of the pictures without comment. I have my doubts that these are from Knox County or Knox College. They were all labeled as from Knox County or Knox College. Oh well! If you don’t try for these kinds of things, you can’t know. Carley Robison (the Archivist at Knox) will be getting all of these just in case, but I don’t think they are from Knox after all. There are some interesting pictures here. I will post them all in case someone can identify buildings. If you can, please add some info in the comments.
