Alumnae Hall was the second building to be built on The Western Female Seminary's campus, and was completed in 1892. The building was constructed from funds donated by Olivia Meily Brice (Mrs. Calvin S. Brice), class of 1866, and other alumnae, trustees, and friends of the college. The architecture style of the building was Romanesque Revival. The building remained in use as a library until 1970 when Hoyt Hall opened. Between 1972-1974 it was used as a student center. It was torn down in 1977.
