Basement corridor of San Francisco State College’s former campus at Buchanan and Haight Streets, photographed in the 1950s, prior to the university’s move to the Lake Merced campus. Rows of mailboxes or lockers line both walls, with desks and chairs arranged along the corridor. Several individuals stand and converse in the background while a woman walks past in the foreground. Overhead industrial lighting and exposed ductwork contribute to the utilitarian character typical of mid-century campus facilities.
