relicThis hand-carved scroll detail is on a remnant of a Leuders stone accent which was removed from the Texas Tech West Hall when it was renovated as a Visitors Center in 2001. Other pieces were placed in a "Relic Garden" in front of West Hall.
West Hall was constructed in 1934 as a men's dormitory. During the 1960s it was converted to a women's dorm. My friend Shirley lived in West on the first floor; I resided in Drane on the 3rd floor. I had to stay in during enforced study hall for freshman and mind the midnight curfew on weekends. Shirley's groundfloor access and handy window afforded her more party time.
