Lloyd Hall (1893-1919)

Dickinson College acquired this house on West Pomfret Street, formerly the home of Samuel M. Hepburn, on May 16, 1893, for $5,000, the mortgage being signed by President George E. Reed and Professors Henry C. Whiting and Bradford O. McIntire. A local fraternity, Alpha Zeta Phi, initially occupied the building, but it was turned into a residence for women in 1895.

The house was called “Ladies’ Hall” until February 7, 1905, when it was renamed to honor John Zacharias Lloyd, a recently deceased Methodist clergyman and trustee who had made a $10,000 bequest to the College. The house was sold in 1919, and ultimately razed fifty years later.
