Francis Hall began its existence
as Christ the King Seminary.
The seminary opened its doors to the first seminarians in 1951 and closed them in
1974 when combined with St. John's Seminary in East Aurora, NY.
Acquired by the University, it became Francis Hall, a dormitory
for university students.
It was
helpful for the university because at the time it was experiencing a crunch for
student living
space. The rooms in Francis Hall were singles, but they provided a lot more living
space than the University had previously. It currently houses some
University offices as well. |
