Severance Hall was one of three residential halls built to replace the residential quarters of the original College Hall that burned down in 1914. It was paid for primarily by Elizabeth Severance Prentiss, an alumna of college from the 1880s. Her portrait hangs in the living room. It opened in 1927.
