| Originally
called North Dormitory, Fletcher Hall was completed in 1939. It was
built during the Depression with assistance of programs such as the Works
Progress Administration. The building was renamed in honor of U.
S. Senator Duncan V. Fletcher. Renovated in 1984, Fletcher Hall continues
to serve as a residence hall.
Fletcher
Hall was designed by architect Rudolph Weaver in the Collegiate
Gothic style following the tradition established by his predecessor
William
Edwards. Fletcher Hall is among the buildings constituting the
University of Florida Campus Historic District, an historic area added
to the National Register in 1989. |
