The Curious History of Pemberton Hall

Thursday, 01 October, 2020 @ 10:00 AM | Cost:Free & Open to the Public

This four-story building was the 2nd building built on Eastern's campus after the iconic Old Main Castle and was finished in 1908.  It included parlors, fireplaces, fourth floor maid's quarters, a matron's apartment, and a dining room.  It's registered as a historic landmark, due to it being the first women's college residence hall on the campus of a State University.   You are invited to learn more in two brief videos and historic documents.  This educational session will be available 10/1/2020 via link on the Academy Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/EIU-Academy-of-Lifelong-Learning-1511517142407208/) and the EIU Academy website (https://www.eiu.edu/adulted/all.php).
