Elizabeth
Hall was the first major building erected on campus
by Mr. Stetson and is the grandest building of
them all. It was John B. Stetson's crowing contribution
to the university, and it is the best example
of the careful planning of Dr. Forbes president
of the university.
Elizabeth
Hall was named for Elizabeth Shindler Stetson,
John's third wife. The building was designed to
remind Stetson of Independence Hall in his home
town of Philadelphia.
Flagler
Hall, which was constructed in 1902, was originally
called the Science Hall. Railroad Magnate, Henry
M. Flagler donated the money for the construction
of this building with the stipulation that his
name not be associated during his lifetime.
Chaudoin
Hall. A women's residence hall, Chaudoin Hall
was built in three stages: (1892, 1894, &
1935). The building is named after W.N. Chaudoin
a Stetson trustee from 1886-1904.
