Description
Record Series 674 contains photographs and materials generated by UCLA's Hershey Hall.
Background
The first building at UCLA dedicated to housing was Hershey Hall, named after Almira "Mira" Hershey who donated $300,000 in
the 1930s to have the dorm built. Beginning as a womens' dorm in 1931, Hershey Hall provided housing and socialization to
students for nearly seven decades. In 1959 Hershey Hall was expanded with the addition of a West Wing, which would become
the boys' wing when the Hall became graduate coed housing in 1969. 1998 saw Hershey Hall converted for academic uses, providing
offices and classrooms. The West Wing was demolished in 2006 to make way for the Terasaki Life Sciences Building, while the
original building remains as a historic location.
