DeKalb Traveler: Main Hall at Agnes Scott
TBD
Join fellow DeKalb History Center Members exploring Main Hall with Agnes Scott College.
After more than five years of extensive renovation, the College’s original building, Agnes Scott “Main” Hall, reopened to students in August 2024.
Built in 1891, Main Hall was an architectural and technological wonder designed to embody the educational ambitions of the College’s founders. The building was the first in Decatur to be lighted with electricity, gathering neighbors at sunset to watch the lights turn on. For more than one hundred years, it housed generations of Agnes Scott students who dreamed big dreams, wrote and studied, and made lifelong friends.
The renovation, funded by more than 650 individual and foundation donors, brought new technology, systems, and functionality to Main Hall while preserving its character, architectural style, and even the original wood floors. Solar energy now lights the halls, and sustainable building materials were used throughout the renovation.
This event is for DeKalb History Center Members only.
