Looking younger: Washington Hall
...Notre Dame during the summer? The answer... a lot, and they are using every last day to get work done before students return. Here's not a new building but rather an old one, one that’s one year older than St. Edward’s. Washington Hall, built in 1881 and located to the south of Steds, is the University’s first performance hall. Like all old buildings, it needed some tender, loving care. Concentrating on the south facade, workers closed a portion of God Quad and gave this handsome hall a much needed face lift. On the summer time nip and tuck, Fr. Ralph said, “It was overdue and much needed. Inconvenient when walking the quad? Sure. Still, in the end, it’s only going to add to Steds’ curb apparel!”
