The Mars Theater

Over the course of the past year I have been lucky enough to get to photograph a few shows inside of the Long Center. It was built over one hundred years ago as the Mars Theatre. It was a vaudeville theater, and that look inside is what makes it so unique. It along with many other buildings in our area was designed by Walter Scholer.

Designed By Scholer

This week the theme will be buildings that were designed by Walter Scholer. The look of the campus of Purdue is directly related to Walter Scholer planning how campus should be laid out. His designs have become iconic in both West Lafayette and Lafayette. This week I am going to look at a few of the buildings that he designed.
