These two photographs provide historical evidence of plant use at Carleton across different time periods. The 1951 image shows plants in a scientific, laboratory context, while the 1999 image shows plants integrated into a public campus interior space (Upper Sayles). Together, they allow us to compare shifts in how plants function within institutional space.
