1949 Yearbook
Description
McAuley Hall
Entrance to McAuley Hall
One of the oldest buildings in use at St. Ambrose, McAuley Hall, two miles southwest of
the main campus, is a complete unit in itself.
Besides the ordinary necessities of living, spiritual
needs are met in the small chapel built by the
Sisters of Mercy, the original occupants. The
building functions as a miniature of the larger
campus halls . . .
In its long and colorful history, the hall has
been used as a parochial school, a nurse's residence, an old women's convalescent home, a
faculty residence building, and during the last
war, as a Naval barracks for officer trainees.
Since 1946, when the great majority of its inhabitants were returned veterans, McAuley Hall
has had its interior remodeled in a cool gray-
green motif and now serves as an ordinary
dormitory.
It is named after Sister McAuley, founder of
the Order of the Sisters of Mercy
