(1872)
Ravaged by fire on two separate occasions, Alumni Hall stands today as the second oldest building on campus. Construction began in 1874, but the building was not completed until 1888. All but its stately stone exterior was destroyed by fires in 1898 and 1913. The alumni, who financed its original construction, also supported each subsequent restoration. Hence its name. World War I delayed the last reconstruction effort, which was not completed until 1919. The interior was again extensively renovated between 1976 and 1987. The main floor of the building today houses administrative offices; the chapel is on the second floor. While Alumni Chapel is still the popular name of the main chapel located in Alumni Hall, its formal name is Sacred Heart Chapel. At the same time, a second chapel in the aspe was dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary.| HM Number | HM1GQO |
