1907:
Howard Darling residence, 3755 E. Douglas.
Lumber magnate and Fairmount College benefactor Darling
built this house in the then-new College Hill neighborhood;
today it belongs to the nonprofit cancer support group Victory
in the Valley. Howard Darling appears in the foreground
of this
historic photograph of the groundbreaking ceremony for
Fairmount's Carnegie library; he holds the shovel. The third
man from the right is the college's first president, Nathan
Morrison, who died less than 24 hours after the photo was
made.
