Front view of Williams Hall. It contains 146 rooms, including 73 double and single rooms for students, a suite, several lounges, a recreation room, and other laundry, storage, and study areas. It was first occupied in 1965 and named North Hall. The name was later changed to Williams Hall in 1980, in honor of Mary Ellen Whitehead Williams. Her son, Joseph A. Williams, the owner of St. Mary's Sewer Pipe Company and benefactor of the College, donated funds to renovate the residence hall. He requested that the hall be re-dedicated in honor of his mother, who had raised him and his three brothers and one sister on her own after his father's early death at age forty. She continued to operate the family's 100-acre farm in Penfield, Clearfield County. The building was re-dedicated October 24, 1980.

The Old Fine Arts Building was originally constructed in the 1870's as a family dwelling. It was purchased in 1931, along with nineteen other properties located on the same city block, by Michael Bond Rich of Woolrich Mills, the former President of the Board of Directors of Williamsport Dickinson Junior College. The property was donated to the college for future expansion. The Fine Arts Center, consisting of eighteen rooms, was opened to the public in 1940. The building was demolished in June 1986 due to unsafe conditions caused by a shift in its foundation. The former Hilltop Gymnasium was renovated for use as the Fine Arts Building.

The property was donated to the college for future expansion. Five buildings were left standing when the other properties were razed in 1939. One of those was remodeled for the President's home, and the other four were remodeled for the Fine Arts Center. The building was painted white, green shutters were hung, the eaves were cut back, a new roof was put on, and eighteen-foot colonial columns were erected for the front, which faced the center of the campus. The Fine Arts Center, consisting of eighteen rooms, was opened to the public in 1940. A plaque inside the portico in the front of the building read: 'This Fine Arts Building and President's residence were made possible by the gifts of Mr. and Mrs. William Fleming Rich and Family.' 'Widemire, Williamsport, PA' is stamped on the back.
