Birch Hall was built in 1902 and was the Domestic Arts building. It was used as a ladies dormitory and also a men's dormitory for a time until it was torn down in 1968 to make room for a new men's residence. In the basement it served as a cafeteria, a north addition was added in 1918-1919 and the dining-room was enlarged into the basement of the new portion. May be Etta Emery-Hill in the photograph.
