The gully at left in the late 1930s became the site of Jordan-Hare Stadium. ROTC horses were stabled in the two buildings running north-south at lower left near where the Sports Arena later stood. Perpendicular to the stables was the long shed housing field artillery pieces, caissons, and trucks. ... The white sand road extended from the gun shed to Thach Avenue near Alumni Gym and the President's Mansion. Samford Hall is shown directly in front of the water tank that stood behind Toomer Drugstore. Bullard Field, in the middle of the picture, was the site for years for ROTC drill and parades, polo matches and intramural football and softball. To the right of Bullard are the Theta Chi and Sigma Nu houses. Shown directly behind the Sigma Nu house, but actually several blocks away, is the Presbyterian Church. At right stands Comer Hall, with greenhouses and other agriculture buildings nearby. Photo source: Leonard W. Thomas and H. C. Morgan, Jr.
