The Mary Lyon Hall was built in 1897 on the site of the Seminary
building after its destruction by fire in 1896. The building was designed
by the architectural firm of Gardner, Pyne and Gardner. It houses the
administrative offices, classrooms and chapel. Much of the money
for the construction of the Hall was given by D.K. Pearson. When
the corner stone was laid, a crayon drawing of Mary Lyon was
discovered. In 1937 the chapel was renovated and enlarged with a donation from Emily Abbey Gill. As a result, it was renamed Abbey Chapel.
