OriginalKee Mar College, c. 1860s
Reason
A lovely image of a historic women's college. Part of a lovely progression in the article where you can see the trees grow in at the college over the decades. The college ceased to exist in 1911, so there's limited chances to document it.

    • I thought that it did, but I had some trouble telling as there's a small amount of what I presume is lens distortion as well. I'm uploading a -.3 degree rotation; if you want to have a poke, here's the uncropped restored version. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7.4% of all FPs 06:14, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment – It does look tilted; either that, or perspective is distorted. Detail might not be too bad for the 1860s, but huge featureless foreground detracts from EV regarding this obscure institution. – Sca (talk) 12:49, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • question Why is the infobox image not more valuable for the article? Charlesjsharp (talk) 19:18, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Charlesjsharp: I'll be honest: I do like that one better, but it is a little smaller, largely because it's cut from a frankly bizarre and awful choice to make it an oval print, and I figured adding some extra sky was fine, but I didn't want to use excessive speculation on the actal grounds. Might touch it up a bit more and nominate it instead. Withdraw. I'll be back! Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7.4% of all FPs 23:47, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
