Completed in 1887 and designed by William Brocklesby, Alumni Hall gymnasium was located in the north end of the Summit campus, approximately where the Admissions building stands in 2022. It was destroyed in a fire on Feb. 18, 1922 and was reconstructed. A subsequent fire destroyed it in 1967.

In addition to supporting the athletic program, the building “had been the scene of proms, tea dances, faculty receptions for students, undergraduate course registration, final exams, and productions by the Jesters.”¹⁾

Following its destruction in 1967, the Trinity College Alumni Magazine ran a feature-length history of Alumni Hall, providing insight into its use and place in student life throughout the twentieth century.
