Pictured here are the original three campus buildings of North Adams Normal School. Taconic Hall is on the left, with Smith House, also known as the President’s Residence to the right. Today Smith House is home to the MCLA admissions office. The building in the background is Murdock Hall, formerly College Hall, where almost all classes at NANS took place.
