In 1952-53, there were still organ pipes on both side of the stage (and maybe more), but I never saw or heard a pipe organ in use when I was there. In that time, Tome Memorial was used for the US Navy as their Naval Academy Preparatory School (NAPS).

Thank you Motts. This gallery showcased some of your best photos ever. Thousands of young men must have walked these halls over the decades. Many went on to a long career in the US Navy. Some went to war in far away lands, never to return.

Heat, cold, humidity, and a lack of a functioning HVAC system will bring down a building. Such a shame. Beautiful architecture.

Spectacular ceiling, arches, and woodwork. Thank you Lt. Snyder for your service to the country. Turning boys into educated young sailors is commendable.
