Crawford Hall

A coed freshman residence hall, this building opened in the summer of 1964 as a women's residence hall. It was named for Mr. Joseph E. Crawford, who served on the Board of Trustees of Roanoke College for 28 years. He left $600,000 to the college, which, at the time, was the largest gift of that kind given to Roanoke College. He believed that independent schools like Roanoke College were very important to the preservation of our free heritage.
