Abstract
Palmer Hall was built in 1925 and was dedicated to Dr. Benjamin Morgan Palmer. Halliburton Tower is connected to Palmer Hall. Palmer is on The National Register of Historic Places along with Halliburton Tower and Kennedy Hall. The building features many pointed arches of varying size and some of which are blind arches. There are also multiple bay windows of varying sizes. Palmer Hall lacks the dormer windows found on most Rhodes buildings. To learn more see Collegiate Gothic: The Architecture of Rhodes College or visit the Rhodes website at www.rhodes.edu
