G. Stanley Hall



This house was built in the 1840's for Henry Herman. Henry owned a tract of land in this area, which he farmed. Antioch College purchased the house in 1930. In 1935, an addition was added to the rear to accommodate the students. When the building became the home of the the Psychology Department in 1947, it was named G. Stanley Hall. This building was demolished in March, 2008, after being labeled an eyesore, potential danger, and beyond repair.





Antioch College was founded in 1852 by the Christian Connection. The institute was named after the Syrian city of Antioch. William Mills donated 20 acres of land and $20,000 to help with the construction. William also founded and laid out the village of Yellow Springs. Alphues Marshall was the architect who designed the elegant buildings. The grounds consisted of the main building, 2 dormitories, and the President's house. The private, independent, liberal arts college was officially opened to students in 1853.
