This is a black and white photograph that shows many cars parked in front of Springfield College's dormitory, Reed Hall. Trees can be seen in front of the building and a lamppost can be seen on the left. A print label is attached on the bottom of the photograph. Construction began on David Allen Reed Hall on August 1st, 1961 and was completed on September 1st, 1962. The dedication took place on October 20th, 1962. The building was originally to be named Massasoit Hall, but was changed to Reed Hall when the trustees decided that the last dormitory constructed in the tri-pod of dormitories (Massassoit Hall and Lakeside Hall) built at that time should be named after the College’s founder in order to allow time to collect proper funds in his name. Reed Hall was originally built as an all male dormitory housing 155 students, but today is coed, housing first years or freshmen.
