Description	Brigman Hall seen from across the Oval, with the Steam and Chilled Water Plant beside it. The Steam and Chilled Water Plant has a large smoke stack. At the time of the photograph, Brigman Hall was known as the Speed School Building, and served as the main building for the Speed Scientific School (now the Speed School of Engineering). Brigman Hall was formerly known as the Leathers Building, named for John Leathers, president of the Louisville Industrial School of Reform at the time of its construction.
