Torrey Hall
Torrey Hall was built in 1949, and was originally called Lakeside.
In 1956, it was renamed Torrey Hall, in honor of Louisa Torrey (class
of 1845), who was the mother of William Howard Taft. Torrey was
designed by Douglas Orr, who designed Abbey and Buckland Halls as
well. The resemblance between Torrey Hall and Buckland Hall is apparent.
Torrey is known for a large population of athletes, due to its proximity
to Kendall Sports and Dance Complex.
Torrey Hall houses 126 students in single and double rooms, as
well as one quadruple room (the only of its kind on campus), on
four floors and a mezzanine. Torrey is known for its spacious student
rooms and common areas. It is located between the academic green
and Kendall Sports and Dance Complex. It is also near Upper Lake
and the nationally-recognized equestrian center.
