Ball Hall is an all-female, upper-class residence hall initially named  Mary Ball Hall after Mary Ball, George Washington\u2019s mother. When the building was completed in 1935, Ball Hall contained two opulently decorated parlors on the main floor and a skylight with amber-colored glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Centrally-located, Ball Hall houses 105 women in double occupancy rooms with suite baths. The spacious rooms also feature large windows. Ball faces Virginia Hall across Ball Circle, the ideal spot for a game of Frisbee or just some sunbathing, and is adjacent to Lee Hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ball Hall features a beautiful domed rotunda lobby complete with a spiral staircase and two gorgeous parlors, one of which is provided with a large screen TV. The first floor has a kitchen for each wing while the second and third floors have a centrally-located kitchen and study lounge. Kitchens are equipped with a microwave, an oven, a refrigerator, cabinets, and counter space. Vending machines are located in the kitchens on the first floor. Laundry facilities are found on the basement floor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
