Mary Lyndon Hall was built in 1937 as the second dormitory to house females at the University of Georgia, with the construction of Soule Hall in 1920 being the first. Mary Lyndon Hall was built on UGA’s south campus near Soule Hall, and it was designed using a “homey”18th-century style. This style, also referred to as Georgian Revival, was achieved by interior details such as open fireplaces, marble hearths, candlesticks, and statuettes in the common areas and exterior details such as an elaborate entryway, white trim, multiple chimneys, and a rectangular, two-story shape (Wilson 86). This Georgian Revival style of Mary Lyndon Hall made it a lavish and enhanced-living dormitory for females at UGA. Since its initial construction, Mary Lyndon Hall has only been updated one time in 2011. This infrastructure update included ADA accessibility features and new plumbing, fire, heating, and air systems. The initial architecture and interior design of Mary Lyndon Hall remains the same to this day.
