Title	Photograph - Business Administration Building and Clarke Hall
Description	Business Administration Building (rear) and Clarke Hall (front right) exterior view facing west. Caption from Thamesana article titled "Clarke Hall, War Surplus, To Come Tumbling Down" dated Thursday, October 31, 1968 (Vol. 25, No. 3, Pg. 1): "During World War II these buildings were a part of the Electric Boat Shipyard across the river in Groton. They were constructed as part of a program to increase submarine production. Both were meant to be temporary and were declared surplus after the war. In 1946 they were given to Mitchell, which was then New London Junior College. After being dismantled, they were moved by truck to the campus. Clarke Hall served as a cafeteria and sometimes as an auditorium...[and] was used until 1964 when it was replaced by Clarke Center. The Business Administration Building housed three offices, three class rooms, locker rooms and a small-sized gym...[and] is no longer used. Clarke Hall is used for general storage...[and] provides a place for the maintenance crew to work on the college fleet of boats."
