Broward Hall was built for the Florida State College for Women in 1917, and was named after Napoleon Bonaparte Broward who served as Governor of Florida from 1904–1908. Governor Broward was instrumental in passing the Buckman Act which created two state funded colleges, one in Tallahassee and one in Gainesville. Arcades connected Broward to existing buildings so that women could remain indoors when traveling to the dining hall (now the William Johnston Building).
