UCLA History: The Normal School Before Vermont Avenue

If you have been tracking some of the old photos of UCLA on this blog - or just know some UCLA history - you know that UCLA began by taking over the campus of the State Normal School on Vermont Avenue before the move to Westwood.

But the State Normal School itself had an earlier history. It was first located on the site of what is now the Central Library of LA City. This photo shows that downtown campus circa 1900.

The photo, related photos, and information on this earlier history can be found at http://blogdowntown.com/2011/03/6199-why-doesnt-hope-go-through-las-state-normal
