The Lamar Hall Dormitory was completed in September 1908 and is considered one of the handsomest college dormitories in the South. It is attractive in the interior furnishings as well as in the exterior architecture. The rooms are well ventilated, well lighted, and furnished in simple and refined taste. In addition to the ordinary furniture, each room contains a small closet and also each room is supplied with a lavatory, having both hot and cold water. This dormitory accommodates 136 students besides having apartments for the matron. From: Georgia Normal and Industrial College Catalog 1910-1911
