Original Building
The original three-story Islamic-style building on the Garvanza site was used as the campus for the USC College of Fine Arts starting in 1901. In December 1910, the building was destroyed by a fire that destroyed Judson’s art works. Judson escaped from the burning building through a window and met his classes that day under the pepper trees on the property.

Famous quotes containing the words original and/or building:
“All good things were previously wicked things; every original sin has become an original virtue.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Our civilization is characterized by the word “progress.” Progress is its form rather than making progress being one of its features. Typically it constructs. It is occupied with building an ever more complicated structure. And even clarity is sought only as a means to this end, not as an end in itself. For me on the contrary clarity, perspicuity are valuable in themselves.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
