Looking south from the north end of Unit Two. The window seen at the far end is in the Murdock Family Room (The Wichita Eagle Publishing Company, family), turning left at that intersection will take you back into Unit One that was completed in 1922.
Looking northeast at the south end of Unit Two. The blocks in the fore ground are Bedford limestone that will be used to face the building. Completed Unit One is to the far right in the photo with the limestone blocks in place. Unit One was completed in 1922.
