South College, the original college edifice, was designed by President George Junkin. It was built in 1833-34 with Junkin serving as general contractor, doing much of the work himself with the aid of the students. The east wing was added in 1866-69 and was originally used as the college library. The wing was first called Eastonian Hall to honor the citizens of Easton, who provided the funds for its construction. The west wing, added in 1871-73, was designed by architect M.S. Morrill. It served as the chapel until Colton Chapel was built in 1916, and as a mess hall for Camp Lafayette during World War I. It was renovated in 1920-21. After a fire destroyed a large part of the west wing in March 1956, it was restored in 1956-57. In 1958, the east wing was renovated by Collins &Maxwell, Easton. The original central section was renovated in 1869 and 1907, and then was razed in 1961. Everett Associates, Allentown, designed the new section which was constructed in 1961-62. Over the years, South College has had many functions and currently serves as a residence hall.
