Fayerweather Hall, c1894 and 2010: Better viewed large. Built in 1894, Fayerweather Laboratory (as it was then known) housed the physics and chemistry departments of Amherst College. Nearly 120 years later, Fayerweather Hall still stands, the exterior much the same as it was back then. The 1890 photo appears to be taken on a 4x5 view camera, which allows the photographer to shift and tilt perspective. I took the bottom photo with a digital SLR, leaving me without the benefits of changing perspective.
