A HERITAGE HOWERTON HALL Howerton Hall was first known as the New Hotel since it replaced the original Alba Hotel which was completely destroyed by fire in 1945. This hotel was later named Howerton Hall in honor of Dr. J. R. Howerton, the first president of Montreat after it was bought by the Presby- terians, for it was under his leadership that the old Alba Hotel had been constructed. CROSBY ADAMS FINE ARTS BUILDING The Crosby Adams Fine Arts Building was purchased in part by gifts in order to honor Mr. and Mrs. Crosby Adams who had been a vital part of the life of Montreat College since it was founded. It was to be used as a gathering place for musicians and for the teaching of music. It is now used as a dormitory.
