Description
Workers place the iconic "hat" on top of a Foothill building during construction in 1960. The "hat" was both a visual feature and a functional one. Inside the "hat" were the heating and ventilation systems that are typically placed on rooftops in full view. This was used on all buildings at Foothill to hide the unsightly equipment from view.
