College Hall (Canton, NY)
Description:
A reading and study room in what was then known as College Hall, prior to the 1906 renovations. With little money for books or other materials and a poorly heated Herring Library, students at St. Lawrence University took it upon themselves to supply this room with a few newspapers and magazines through a student club, with heat provided by a pot-bellied stove.

Description:
In April of 1856, the New York State Legislature granted a charter to The St. Lawrence University College of Letters and Science, which would be housed, along with a Universalist Theological School, in a single building atop a hill outside Canton. In June, the cornerstone of what would be known for 50 years as "College" Hall was laid. Classes would begin the following year with just a handful of students. Around 1906, the building was renamed Richardson Hall in honor of donor Mary Richardson.
