Description
The Chemistry Building, now Derby Hall, was the third home for Ohio State’s Chemistry Department after the first two buildings burned down. Derby too experienced a fire fewer than six months after it was built, but it survived to eventually house a number of less combustible occupants as a humanities building. Two blurry figures crossed in front of the building while the shutter was open, and more silver mirroring encroaches on the plate’s edges.
