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.

Mrs. Jennie Murphree was the wife of Dr. Albert A. Murphree, the first president of the Florida Female College from 1905 - 1909. Jennie Murphree Hall was a women's hall until Fall 2015 and is steeped in tradition.

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 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.

William James Bryan, who studied law and was appointed US Senator in 1907, is the namesake for Bryan Hall. With battlements along the roof's edge and twin squared towers, the hall appears fortress-like. Yet the low, wide-railed steps that lead to the triple arcade entrance give an inviting appearance. Bryan is the oldest residence hall on campus.

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.
