Description

Two men stand in Preston Hall with tables set for an event. Preston was built in 1873 with funds donated by Betsy Preston, a cook in the employ of John Aspinwall. The gift represented her life savings. To honor her, St. Stephen’s built a refectory that remained in continuous use as a dining hall, with separate rooms for students and faculty, until Kline Commons was completed in 1972.
