Oberlin Then and Now: Webster Hall
Then: 51 S. Professor Street, 1906, Now: Methodist Church addition, 1968, Thomas Vaugg
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 remodeled and opened as a college hall of residence in 1933. It accommodates thirty-four women, who take 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.]
