Here's an interesting aerial photograph of Bluffton prior to the 1960s. The Leland Gerber photo shows College Hall and the Musselman Library. Notice that a drive way is between the library and College Hall.
Also, the library lacks its 1960-era addition. There is no parking lot behind College Hall. Mosiman Hall was probably not yet built.
We invite Icon viewers to offer more observations.
