Williams Hall
Williams Hall began life as a much-needed Hobart gymnasium, built in 1907. There was a running track above the first-floor gymnasium and a swimming pool in the basement. The gymnasium was often used for college dances, as well. With the advent of Bristol Gymnasium in 1965, Williams was renovated to house the post office, bookstore and the music department, which is headquartered in the building to this day. Williams Hall is named in memory of Charlie Rose Williams, the nephew of Mrs. Mary M. Emery, who drowned in 1864. Mrs. Emery, a noted philanthropist, donated the money for the building at the request of her pastor, a Hobart alumnus.
