This is the front of the building.
The statue is Portia, the heroine from the Merchant of Venice.
A better shot of the front. It is a pretty nice building.

The Martha Cook Building
The Martha Cook building was built in 1915 as the first women's dormitory. It was a gift of New York Lawyer William Cook and was named after his mother.

I don't think I ever really looked at that statue, and I certainly never knew who it was. Thank you for your recent pictures around campus. They make me wish I had payed more attention to the buildings when I was a student.
ReplyDeleteI really like Michigan's campus, there are some really nice buildings there. There is an amazing amount of history behind many of those buildings.
