History

[edit]
Parking lot where Jefferson Hall once stood

Jefferson Hall was constructed in 1916.[3] It operated as an apartment through the 1980s, but was demolished in about 1990.

Description

[edit]

Jefferson Hall was a four-story red brick apartment building built in the "garden court" style, where apartments are arranged in a U-shape around a central courtyard.[3] This arrangement gave tenants more window space and a courtyard view. The building was trimmed with stone.[3] The main lobby was located in the center of the U, and two commercial stores flanked the entryway. Projecting bay windows were located above, on the second through fourth floors.[3]
