Title	Stuyvesant Hall Photographs
Subject	Education Architecture Universities and colleges College buildings Bells National Register of Historic Places
Place	Delaware (Ohio) Delaware County (Ohio)
Description	These four photographs show Stuyvesant Hall on the Ohio Wesleyan University campus. The first two photographs document the exterior of building. The third shows a patio at the back of the building, and the final photograph shows the bells to be mounted in carillon. The photographs measure 4.5" x 7.75" (11.43 x 19.69 cm). Stuyvesant Hall was built in 1930 on West William Street as a women's dormitory with a gift from Mr. and Mrs. Frank Stuyvesant of Lakewood, Ohio whose interest in Ohio Wesleyan came from their neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Erwin G. Guthery and daughter, Katherine Guthery (graduate of 1925). Construction was proposed in 1929 but the death of John Stuyvesant in February 1930 postponed the groundbreaking a few months. Mrs. Stuyvesant continued with the building and included a carillon of bells in the tower in memory of her husband. A patio in the rear, recreation center equipped with a stage, and "date parlors" were special features of the building. During World War II, women were relocated to Austin and Monnett Halls as well as fraternity houses to make room for the V-5 navy men on campus. After the war the dormitory again housed women students. Stuyvesant Hall is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
