Williams Hall (1980, North Hall 1965-1980)

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.
