After we recently posted the 1930s photo of Rutgers Gardens, some folks have asked me about the availability of earlier photos of Cook and its environs. Aaron Love at CRSSA pointed out that there are some B/W aerial photos of Cook and other campus areas in the 1927 Master Plan that is currently online at: http://collegeavenuecampus.rutgers.edu/pdf/1927mp.pdf The photo above shows the college farm areas where Route 1 now runs. You can see Helyar Woods near the water on the right about 2/3 of the way up. The fairly straight road is our Ryder's Lane and the long curve is part of the train track that runs to the current BMS property.
There are some VERY recent photos of the gardens and campus that are newly available at Live.com, too.
