1910 Built in 1910 on the site of the former Lingley Hall, Hart Hall was part of the Mount Allison Ladies' College and the School for Girls. The four-storey stone building, designed by Edmund Burke, housed dormitory rooms, a gymnasium, a swimming pool, classrooms and an apartment for the College Principal. Extensively renovated in 1983-84 it today houses a variety of academic apartments making it the oldest academic building on campus still in use. Hart Hall is reputed to be haunted by the ghost of Ethel Peake (1875-1954) a voice teacher at Mount Allison and a well-known "character." |
