Guild Hall – the old university gymnasium – was constructed in 1901 in a variant on the Medieval Revival style of architectural design with Menominee pressed brick upon a granite foundation.
In 1937, the gym was moved from its original location directly north of the Quadrangle building to 150 feet west of that spot.
It wasn't until the Warner Palestra was built in 1972 that the gym underwent a few changes in purpose. Rather than the hub of varsity sports, Guild Hall began hosting intramural sports, dances, and receptions.
Every now and then, SOT/Sem students will use Guild Hall's beautiful maple floors for pick up games of basketball or volleyball, and special dinners and other events are often hosted there as well.
Now, it's time for our next A-Cross Saint John's photo-clue of the week!
