USC was also in a residential neighborhood, with lots originally sold to raise capital for the school. Homes were part of the campus until the mid-1900s, when the campus expanded east of Trousdale Parkway (originally called University Avenue).<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/migration-uploads\/old-college_1890_webRS-2964.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><strong>An old favorite<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The College of Liberal Arts building, known as &ldquo;Old College,&rdquo; was the second building to be constructed at USC, with ground breaking in 1887. It became emblematic of the university, known for its clock tower, staircase and sometimes-ivy-covered facade. It was often in advertising and on postcards. For many years, it was where students went for most of their classes. In 1948, it was demolished, worn down from years of heavy use. Taper Hall now stands on the site.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/migration-uploads\/Bovard_Field_1908_webRS-2964.jpg\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>In the middle of it all, a football field<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This 1908 photo shows USC&rsquo;s first football field, Bovard Field, next to 34th Street where USC Thornton School of Music is today.
