Scope and content
April, 1961, view of cafeteria/auditorium at Hunt Junior High School. The mushroom-shaped building at the Henry F. Hunt Junior High (now Middle) School served at least two purposes. It was used as a cafeteria and also an auditorium with large stage. Here students are apparently rehearsing for a play; pianist is at hand to accompany actors. Architect Robert Billsbrough Price made full use of natural light with skylights and tall windows surrounding the building. The arched wooden beams provided support as well as made an arresting sight. Photograph ordered by Vanzant, Dugdale & Co., Baltimore, MD.
