TRANSCRIPT:
History Theological Hall, constructed in 1879-1880, is the third oldest building on campus. Upon first construction, the building was referred to as “The College” by students and faculty, regularly holding major ceremonies in its ornate Convocation Hall. The building was dubbed Theological Hall in 1912 when Queen’s Theological College was established, and the university separated from the Presbyterian Church. The west end of the building was once the universities’ library until the early 1900, later becoming the medical library until the construction of Botterell Hall.
Fun Facts The second floor houses the Morgan Memorial Chapel, named after the late theology professor William Morgan. The chapel regularly holds services and hundreds of alumni have been married there.
Academics and Student Life The Norman Romanesque structure was the university's main building throughout the late 19th century. Today, the old library and Convocation Hall are theaters where the School of Drama regularly holds productions.
