In 1929, Ludlow and Peabody architects built this collegiate Gothic
style building. This building is located in the center of campus and
contains primarily offices and classrooms for the humanities and social
sciences departments. It also includes Allen Auditorium, named for
former professor Jean Allen who taught biology for many years. Elements
of Warfield Hall that mimic those of the collegiate gothic style consist
of dormers, a limestone exterior, a Tudor style doorway, buttresses and
gables. The building's original name was Recitation Hall but was
renamed in memory of Dr. Ethelbert Warfield, College president from
1915-1936.
