About This Collection

The Lycoming College Campus - Past and Present collection is an exhibit of photographs depicting the buildings and grounds of the campus from its earliest days as the Williamsport Academy to the present Lycoming College campus. An effort has been made to show the transformation of the campus through the years, respecting the legacies of the past and acknowledging the changes that the future requires. This collection also honors the individuals from whom several of the buildings were named, by displaying their photographs, if possible, and short summaries of their significance in the lives of their families, their communities, and the college.

View of the steps and columned entrance of Williams Hall in a winter scene. Williams Hall is a three story brick residence hall built in the Federalist style, with tall, white columns gracing the main entrance. It contains 146 rooms, including 73 double and single rooms for student housing, 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.
