Lee Hall

Lee House is one half of the Lee and Beaumont Residential College. Originally a women’s dorm, this traditional is among the oldest dorms still standing on the South 40. First used by the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Company at the 1904 World’s Fair, the building was named “Tower Hall” when Wash. U. took ownership of it in 1905. In the 1950s, when the South 40 first started to be built, the “Lee” name–after John F. Lee—was transferred to this building. The residential college was established in the 1960s and counts LeeBeau Cocoa and LeeBeau Love Week, a week-long event filled with games and contests, among its traditions.
