Bright and Shiny for Move In Day



2011-08-13 - 411-413 Helen Flatt DR, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener.
The Lindsey Wilson Plant Operations Department was working very early Saturday morning to have everything ready for today's Move In. Above Ralph Brock, Columbia, KY, was using a leaf blower to clear the side walks at the entrance to the School of Professional Counseling classroom rooms located on the upper level of the building at 413 Helen Flatt DR. The lower floor will house the college's four-year School of Nursing. At left is the Fugitte Science Building, at 411 Helen Flatt DR. When all of the expected 1,100 residence hall students have moved in today and Sunday, Columbia's population will have increased by approximately 55%. The school's resident hall population is within a few hundred of the entire population of the City of Columbia in the 1940s. The entire enrollment of the school, expected to be at record levels this year, will be almost twice the 1940s Columbia census.

School of Nursing from Campbellsville ST, Columbia, KY



2011-08-13 - From 400 Block, Fairground ST, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener.
From Across the 400 Block of Fairground ST, the back of the Lindsey Wilson School of Professional Counseling upper floor and the entrance to the School of Nursing lower floor can be seen. The views from the building have grand vistas over the Adair County Fairgrounds, Gobbler's Knob, and Kentucky 206 toward Burton Ridge. A number of homes which were a big part of history are now gone, including the one time Cooley home and the Rose Hunn/Jim Walker Burton place, now in the process of being removed, right hand side of the photo. Already gone, out of frame, on the right, are the one time Bayard Antle/J.C. Montgomery house and the onetime Ben Harrison/Brad Graham residence. If anyone has photos of the neighborhood from those days, or remembers the order of the homes along Fairground Street, we'd welcome them at CM. Submit using the reply device with this photo or any Contact/Submit button.
