A man in a suit, tie, and hat walks past one of the temporary wooden huts at San Francisco State College’s Lake Merced (19th Avenue) campus in the early 1950s. A public telephone booth stands beside the structure, and small shrubs line the building’s exterior. These modest huts were part of the rapidly developing campus, which expanded quickly after the College relocated from its Haight & Buchanan site in 1953 to accommodate growing enrollment.
