+Park Place Hall is a student dormitory located at 187-189 Allen Place in the North Campus area.
+The dormitory, which is a converted apartment house, was formerly known as Allen West. The College purchased the property along with the adjacent building, which later was named [[boardwalk_hall|Boardwalk Hall]], in 1957 for $65,000. It was originally used for faculty housing and then later converted to student living spaces.
 In 1982, in an effort to name the "nameless" dorms on Trinity's campus, a committee, with student and administrative input, voted to name the dormitory Park Place Hall.
-In 2019, Park Place and the adjacent dorm [[boardwalk_hall|Boardwalk Hall]] closed for extensive repairs and renovations totaling over $2 million. Extensive interior upgrades were needed. The dorms had earlier received exterior renovation upgrades in 2012.
-These renovations removed the two dorms from the student housing lottery and left 50 students on a waitlist. To accommodate the shortage of on-campus housing, the Dean of Students allowed more students to live in off-campus housing.
+In 2012, Park Place and Boardwalk Hall received exterior renovation upgrades. In 2019, the buildings closed because they would require extensive repairs and renovations to the interior totaling over $2 million. They still may remain unused or unoccupied.
