The room that now houses the Social Science Center used to be Trinity's original library and was occupied as such until the library moved to its first free-standing building in 1952 (where it still stands today). In case you are curious, this is what it used to look like (courtesy of Peter Knapp at the Trinity College Archives in the Watkinson):
Most of the book shelves lining the sides of the room are long gone, but they still remain in the corners. I love the light shining through the east window!
