NIU's Official Entryway Garners an Award in 1995

 From the September 9, 2020, MidWeek   "Looking Back."

1995, 25 Years Ago.

"As Northern Illinois University prepares to kick off its centennial  celebration next month, one of the October 1 events will be the presentation of the Restoration Recognition Award.

The City of DeKalb's Landmark Commission is honoring NIU for recreating the past through the entry gate on Castle Drive.  The design is based on the original gateway to the State Normal School."

And, that is one really pretty entry way to one of the most beautiful spots on campus.
