Jarvis Hall

2820 S. University Drive - 1911

This is the only building remaining from the original 1911 campus that has not been significantly altered.  It was designed by Waller and Field, the campus architects and planners.  As in most of the early TCU buildings, it was designed in the Classical Revival Style.  The entrance is marked by a pedimented portico with Ionic columns.  The original wood windows have been replaced with aluminum framed windows.  It serves as a women's dormitory and was named after Major J.J. Jarvis and his wife Ida Van Zandt Jarvis.  Major Jarvis was the first chairman of the board of trustees of TCU.
