Description
The Public Works Administration (PWA) funded the construction of two additions on the northern and southern ends of Women’s Hall, housing women’s dormitories at West Virginia University in Morgantown. (Project W. Va. 485.) The building is still in service today as a residence hall, under the name Stalnaker Hall.
The brick structure was built in 1918, and PWA-funded additions were completed in 1935-1939. It is designed in Neoclassical Revival style. Stalnaker Hall was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
