Caption on postcard: Science Hall, University of Washington, Seattle. Postcard postmarked: May 6, 1910 and has the seal of the Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition on the front. Written on verso: Science Hall is one of the many attractive structures of the University of Washington. It is built of brick and stone, is surrounded by beautiful grounds and overlooks a pretty panorama of Lake Washington, Union Bay and the residence system. Filed in: UW - Buildings - Parrington Built in 1902, Parrington Hall is one of the oldest buildings on the University of Washington’s campus. It was originally the Science Building, but was later remodeled to serve the English Department. It has been home to the Evans School of Public Policy & Governance since the 1980’s. The name Parrington is meant to honor Vernon L. Parrington, a long serving member of the English Department who won the Pulitzer Prize in 1928 (University of Washington: An Architectural Tour, 2001).
