Description

John and Margaret Bard constructed Bard Hall to St. Stephen’s as part of the original grant of land, buildings, and funds. Built in 1854, it originally served as a chapel on Sundays and as a neighborhood parish school during the week. Over time, it has served many functions: as a library, often as a classroom, and, for many years, as the College’s primary music hall, with excellent acoustics and a seating capacity of about 100.
