Does anybody have photos of Building 20 in its prime? An exterior shot, aerial shot, and/or good interior shot of a corridor would be helpful in documenting the ambiance of this vanished structure. The current lone image of the "time capsule" is fine, but it could be moved to near the end of the article, where it would be near the text describing it.

I found and added a small CC-licenced photo at http://museum.mit.edu/nom150/entries/308 that doesn't show much beyond the style of the building. https://libraries.mit.edu/archives/mithistory/building20/ has some great photos but the licencing is unclear (clicking "Return to MIT Institute Archives & Special Collections" gives a page that ends with "Licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial License unless otherwise noted.", but this possibly isn't clear enough to reuse the images). --Gapfall (talk) 16:53, 17 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for finding and adding the photo, which at least gives some inkling of what Building 20 looked like. You could email the contact at the MIT Archives for more rights-cleared photos. The folks at Archives are generally happy to support anybody who is interested in MIT History, including Wikipedia editors. Reify-tech (talk) 19:25, 17 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
