Description
This authentic 1960s color photograph, captured in 1961, showcases the striking mid-century modern architecture of the C.S. Mott Library on Court Street in Flint, Michigan. The archival image highlights the building’s unique design, characterized by geometric orange window panels, tan brickwork, and prominent vertical sections featuring a brown and white checkered stone pattern. Part of the Flint Junior College campus (now Mott Community College), the library was a gift from industrialist and philanthropist Charles Stewart Mott. The manicured green lawn in the foreground features young saplings, while the modern bell tower of a neighboring campus building is visible in the distance. The C.S. Mott Library is still standing today, continuing to serve students as part of the joint campus library system for Mott Community College and the University of Michigan-Flint. While the surrounding landscape has matured significantly and the interior has been modernized, the building’s distinctive 1960s facade remains a hallmark of Flint’s educational cultural center. This factual record preserves the clean lines and optimistic design of Michigan’s mid-century academic expansion.
