Miner Hall ln l888 a joint stock company was formed known as the l-liram College Building Company, for the purpose of erecting such buildings as were needed tor the accommodation of students. The company erected what is now known as Miller l-lall. The building was originally used as a men's dormitory but was converted after a few years to house women. ln l897, a wooden addition known as the Gerould Missionary Cottage was constructed in the L shaped area in the rear of the dorm. This was used to house missionary students and children of missionaries. At some date which we have not determined, this wooden structure was removed leaving the building as it was originally constructed.
