The form also notes its long association with student boarding clubs and with the Waynesburg Public Schools, which leased the lower floors from 1912.","narrative":"Hanna Hall stands on the College Quadrangle of Waynesburg College in Waynesburg, Pennsylvania. It is a three-story rectangular red brick building with a gable roof and a wooden dome-shaped bell tower, measuring 70 by 50 feet. Built circa 1851, it was the first building of the college and is described in simple Federalist style, with one-over-one windows, stone lintels and a stained glass transom bearing the building's name. Its early years included use as the New College and later the Old College, before the Reverend William Hanna funded a new roof in 1896 and the name Hanna Hall was adopted. From 1885 a student boarding club occupied the building, and in 1912 the two lower floors were leased to the Waynesburg Public Schools as an elementary school. The building is significant for its close association with the founding and growth of the college and for its long continuous service as an educational facility.","period_of_significance":"circa 1851","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Federalist","criteria":[],"status_note":"Currently houses classrooms and offices, with the science department and business administration, economics, religion and philosophy departments in recent years.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:29.012454-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/79002235.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79002235/94164ccc29-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79002235/94164ccc29-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hanna_Hall,_Waynesburg,_front_and_side.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hanna_Hall,_Waynesburg,_front_and_side.jpg"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"84003392","name":"Waynesburg Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/pennsylvania/waynesburg-historic-district-84003392/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71998604","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanna_Hall_(Waynesburg_University)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5648677"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/greene-county/hanna-hall-79002235/"}
