NIU's New Music Building Gets Funding in 1969

From the March 27, 2019, MidWeek  "Looking Back."

1969, Fifty Years Ago.

"The federal government has approved a $1 million grant to be used for the construction of Northern Illinois University's planned $5 million Music Building.

"The structure will be built  on a site bounded on the north by Lucinda avenue, on the east by the Kishwaukee River, and on the south by the new Art Building.  Gilbert Hall men's dormitory is directly west of the planned structure."

I don't know what happened, but the proposed site for the new Music building is now the Art building.
