May 3, 1927: New Manter Hall to Rise Soon
The final plans for the Manter Hall School's new building which will be located at the corner of Mount Auburn and Holyoke Streets have been approved and work will start immediately. The building which has been designed by the firm of Adden and Parker will be four stories high of red brick and will be architecturally in harmony with the colonial style now so prevalent throughout the University. Originally to be only three stories high, it was found that more room was necessary and the fourth floor which has been added to the plans will be given over entirely to dormitory rooms for students in the school.
The basement will be a grill room and the ground floor space will be rented to stores. The second and third floors will be used for classrooms with the main entrance leading to them opening onto Mt. Auburn Street.
