Description
Rollins College is a private liberal arts college established in the late 19th century. Construction continued in phases for many years, including a “…burst of building activity in 1936, when Public Works Administration loans permitted the construction of five new dormitories. Joint ceremonies in 1937 dedicated Fox Hall (named for Caroline A. Fox, a Rollins donor), Gale Hall (named for Sullivan French Gale, one of the first trustees), Cross Hall, Hooker Hall, and Lyman Hall.”
