Allen Hall In 1890, Ashland College’s second building was built to ac- commodate students at the college. It was built from bricks made from native clay on what was then an extension of the college. It housed all students and family units, each room being heated by a pot-bellied stove. Since then, the building has been re- modeled to house some sixty freshman and sophomore girls, be- sides accommodating the college nurse and the alumni office. In the near future, a new girl’s dormitory is planned and the old one will then be converted to other uses.
