Reynolds Hall

Celebrating its opening in 1913, Reynolds Hall was named for Mrs. William H. Reynolds, the Lady Principal for Florida Female College from 1905 - 1909. The architects who originally designed Reynolds Hall created the elaborately decorate main entrance as a warm greeting for students. Reynolds Hall was renovated in 1996.

Landis Hall

Landis Hall was completed in 1939 and was originally designed as a Seniors Hall. The women in Landis had later curfew hours than underclassmen, and had the special privilege of having a smoking parlor, the only one on campus. The building later became a co-ed and freshman-only facility. Now home to the University Honors Program Housing, Landis Hall is named for Cary D. Landis, who was an Attorney General for two terms for the State of Florida.

Gilchrist Hall

Gilchrist Hall was named in honor of Brigadier General Albert Waller Gilchrist who served in the Florida Militia during the Spanish-American War, and as Governor of Florida from 1908-1912. Gilchrist Hall was completed in 1920 as a women's residence hall and connects to all the original halls through a series of arcades. It was renovated in 1998.

Broward Hall

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).

Cawthon Hall

Sarah Lundrum Cawthon was Dean of the College Home for fifteen years. She initiated the Student Government Association at the Florida State College for Women, and was a leader in the expansion of the American Association of University Women. Cawthon Hall was renovated in 2001.
