Hammond Hall

-A A +A
1909, faculty and students of the college; 1954 remodeled

Hammond Hall was initially used for women’s domestic science programs before being converted to a shoemaking and tailoring building in 1931. Constructed of stone by the students of the Industrial Department, the one-story building has a heavy, articulated base with bands of brickwork to create a rusticated effect, a grand arched entrance, and a hipped roof. Red stucco was applied to the exterior walls to resemble the color of brick buildings in the vicinity. A pair of white stringcourses links the windows, with the upper band forming frames around their upper portion. The 1954 renovation added restrooms, a kitchen, dining room, and laboratory.
