| HALL
HISTORY Constructed in 1924, Howard was a trailblazer building for Notre Dame -- first building to use Gothic architecture, first residence hall to be built in coordination with the location of other halls (cornerstone of the South Quad trio of Howard, Lyons, and Morrissey) and first building named for a lay professor -- Timothy Edward Howard (future Indiana Supreme Court Justice); Originally constructed to house 156 students; In 1987, the hall was officially made a women's residence hall, and the duck mascot was adopted; Howard's quaint double arches are well known around campus, and as you will find on other South Quad buildings, stone carvings include animals, students, and a saint; After the first snowfall, Howard hosts a campus-wide marshmallow roast. |
