A Proud
History

The historic Dorothy Hall Industrial Building for girls was erected and dedicated in 1901 as the result of a gift from the Phelps Stokes family in honor of Dorothy Lamb Woodbridge, the great-great-great grandmother of Caroline Phelps-Stokes and Olivia Egleston Phelps-Stokes.

Later, it was converted into a house, consisting of 37 modernly equipped bedrooms of which 18 have private baths to accommodate guests visiting Tuskegee annually. These additions paved the way for how we’ve come to know the building today.
