Historical Note
Fenwick Hall - Fenwick’s main structure was built in 1843 followed by the east wing in 1846. In 1852, a fire plagued the main area and it had to be reconstructed in 1852. The two iconic spires were added sometime between 1868 and 1875. Before class sizes got too large, graduation ceremonies took place on Fenwick’s “Commencement Porch.”
O’Kane Hall - While the building construction originally began in 1891, it stalled due to lack of funds. The building was finally completed in 1895 and named after the current College president at the time, Michael A. O’Kane, S.J. The iconic clock tower was renovated in 1994.
