Marietta Walker is the "mother of Graceland": in 1893, she donated 20 acres of her farmland to Graceland. The campus and the college grew from this original piece of land.
Walker is a four-level women's residence hall built in 1929 and renovated in 1994. It has 49 furnished double and single rooms that house up to 85 students. The first-floor rooms are called units, and the second and third floors are each a “house” and have their own lounge, restroom, and laundry facility. The first floor also has a lobby with recreational/gathering space, two study rooms, and a small kitchen.
