Mood-Bridwell Hall is a building on the Southwestern University campus in Georgetown, Texas, United States.[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975, along with the neighboring Hugh Roy and Lillie Cullen Building.
History
[edit]Mood Hall (named for university President Francis Asbury Mood) was built as a student dormitory, with construction beginning in 1906 and completed in 1908.[3] The hall served as a barracks for students in the Student Army Training Corps during World War I,[4] and again for the V-12 Navy College Training Program during World War II.[3] Since 1965, the hall has held offices for faculty and campus organizations rather than student residences.[5]
Together with the Hugh Roy and Lillie Cullen Building, Mood-Bridwell Hall was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 23, 1975 in recognition of its architectural and historical significance.[1]
