MORTON HALL 1914



Designed in 1913 by architect Joseph Schloser in the Georgian Revival style, Morton Hall was built in 1914 to house the Normal School's expanding student population. The residence hall, the finest example of Georgian Revival architecture in Flagstaff, is named in honor of teacher Mary Morton Pollock. In 1931, an annex was built between Morton and Campbell Halls. In 1935, the architectural firm of Lester and Mahoney designed North Hall in the Colonial Revival style with a Georgian Revival floor plan. North Hall, a Depression-era Public Works Administration project, is notable for its Jeffersonian frontispiece and lunette window. These new additions to Morton Hall created the "North Quad," which contained both residences and a dining hall (removed in 1954). During World War II, North Quad housed the Navy's V-12 program as well as a canteen and post office for the servicemen. Today, "North Morton" is a women's residence hall.
