Mary Rockwell Hook, like most of her colleagues, gathered photographs of the School. It was natural for her to focus on the built environment of the School and her photographs gather many images of buildings in various stages of construction. She also included people she was particularly fond of or with whom she had spent time with at the School.
This album, enclosed in a black photograph binder with “Album” on the front, contains 91 items on 25 pages. It is believed that this is the second of 2 albums constructed by Mary Rockwell Hook. The earlier Album I is much smaller and contains pages that are annotated. Most of the photographs in this album are in good condition and appear to be complete with a few questions regarding the removal of items on some pages. Some of the images repeat items found in other staff albums and collections and have not been included. The photographs presented here are a selected group of 47 photographs from the album.
Complementing the album on this page is the recent discovery of an album in Director Burton Rogers’s files that appears to have some connection with Mrs. Hook-Ingram. It is titled Second Generation Photograph Album.
