File:Oneal-hall-1977.jpg

Picture that appeared in 1978 edition of Diorama, the University of North Alabama's annual, of O'Neal Hall, which was demolished in the 1980s to construct Guillot University Center. It is used in this context to illustrate Greek life at University of North Alabama in the 1970s.

This image may or may not be subject to copyright (no copyright was listed in publication, which is now almost 30 years old).

I believe its use is covered by U.S. fair use laws for the following reasons:

1. It is a historically significant photo of a famous University of North Alabama landmark that longer exists. (See "O'Neal Hall, University of North Alabama Web site: http://www2.una.edu/history/Old%20Site/oneal.htm)

1. The scanned image is of much lower resolution than the original; consequently copies made from it will be of inferior quality.

1. The photo is being used only for informational purposes.

1. Most important, the inclusion of this graphic adds significantly to the section on Greek life because it illustrates the role O'Neal Hall played in the formation of fraternities and sororities at the university.

This image is a two-dimensional representation of a building or architectural work which has been destroyed, demolished, or otherwise permanently altered in a way that makes it impossible to take a new photograph serving the same encyclopedic purpose. This image is protected by copyright by the publisher of the destroyed architecture. It is believed that the use of low-resolution versions of such images solely to illustrate the historic appearance of the building in question, where no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under the copyright law of the United States. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.

To the uploader: Please add a detailed non-free use rationale for each article the image is used in, which must also declare compliance with the other parts of the non-free content criteria, as well as the source of the work and copyright information. For example non-free use rationales, see Wikipedia:Use rationale examples. This tag should only be used for images of architectural works. Do not use it for images by others. To patrollers and administrators: If this image has an appropriate rationale please append |image has rationale=yes as a parameter to the license template. Note: If any public domain or freely licensed photograph of the building is discovered or obtained, this image should be deleted and replaced. If the building is out of copyright in its home country or if said photograph was taken in a country which has freedom of panorama for buildings and architectural works which do not restrict commercial use (such as the United States; see here for a full list of which countries are OK), consider uploading to Wikimedia Commons instead, which allows other Wikimedia projects to use the image. If the building is copyrighted in its home country and there is no freedom of panorama provision in that country, then upload it locally under a free license, appending the tag {{FoP-USonly}}.
