Constructed from 1893 –1924
Description: In the late 1800s, Grace Hoadley Dodge founded a school for low-income immigrants that focused on hygiene, cooking, sewing, and other practical skills. During this time she realized that teaching should be customized using relevant materials and teaching styles according to the student’s backgrounds. Over its 135-year operation, Teacher’s College has morphed into a prominent institution that provides more than 100 programs in education, health, psychology, and leadership. The Gothic campus was built over the course of 30 years which now includes 5 residence halls and 8 interconnected buildings: Horace Mann, Thorndike, Macy, Grace Dodge, Whittier, Russell, Thompson, and Main buildings.
