Throwback Sunday :: 70s Halloween Party

Photo owned by Boston Architectural College Archives

The two images we have for your viewing pleasure were taken at a costume party held in 320 Newbury St, sometime in the 1970s.

The photo above was taken in the McCormick Gallery. The tile you see on that floor still exists today, located underneath the current flooring of the Gallery. It is the same tile exists today and is visible in the first floor women's bathroom.

The students covered the Gallery windows with tinfoil for the dance, both as decor and privacy from Newbury St onlookers.
