History
Webster Hall, at 51 South Professor Street, came to the College from the Kindergarten Association in 1932, and was used for the year 1932-33 as a dormitory for women in the Kindergarten Training School. It was remodelled and opened as a college hall of residence in 1933. It accommodated thirty-four women, who took their meals elsewhere. This house was built as a private boarding hall by Mr. Frederick Webster in 1906. Webster Hall was demolished in May-June 1968.Source
