World War II Marine base and future site of the UC Santa Barbara campus: view of building 431

A photograph of the former Marine Base, looking southeast towards the ocean. The building in the foreground is possibly Building 431, which was torn down and eventually the 1977 addition to the library was built on this spot. Building 431 was a mess hall and "senior non-commissioned officer's club." This Marine Base building had been re-purposed into education and psychology classrooms for the first few years of the university.
