Maura Hall Maura Hall was erected during the oflice of Mother Ignatia Flynn with funds obtained fiom the sale of eighteen acres of coal rights underlying the property. Since 1908 the Hall has often reflected its origin, for it is the scene of constant activity which may not be so manual as digging coal, but is often as arduous and equally as rewarding. Until the time of its closing in 1947 Saint Joseph Academy utilized the class- rooms on the third Hoor of Maura Hall. The building is the center of the academic life of the college. It houses most of the classrooms, laboratories of chemistry, biology, physics, and psychology, and some of the ofiices of the Administration. The fourth and fifth Hoors of the building provide dormitories for resident students.
