MEN'S DORMITORY I (HAMLIN HALL)
|
Built in the form of a Turkish Han (Inn), it is now men's dormitory. Designed and built under the supervision of Hamlin, the corner stone was laid on July 4, 1869, with a ceremony that included many distinguished guests. Dr.Hamlin personally attended to the smallest details regarding the construction. He analyzed the mortar used for the Rumelihisar Castle and made the same for his building which was designed like an old Turkish inn or caravanserai with an open courtyard in the center. Hamlin Hall was completed in 1871. A large, one-storey building was added at the back of Hamlin Hall in 1873 but was pulled down when Washburn Hall was constructed thirty years later. During the presidency of Dr. Caleb Frank Gates (1903-1932), Hamlin Hall was renovated. Today, it is used as men’s dormitory.
