The President's House at Adams State University, founded in 1921 as a "normal school" (or teachers' college) in Alamosa, Colorado
Summary
Title, date and keywords based on information provided by the photographer.
Contrary to the assumptions of several observers and visitors, the university is not named either of the Adamses who served as U.S. presidents. It's named for Billy Adams, a Colorado legislator who would become a three-term governor of Colorado, and who worked to establish the school.
