Music Hall
Music was first taught in the Ladies Hall (Fairchild Hall), but in 1898 it was moved to the Hutchinson House, which was where the Boone Tavern parking lot now is. It later became the Office of the Dean of the Academy, and the music classes were moved.

Putnam Hall (Faith Hall)
Built from 1912 to 1913, it was named for Kate Urner Putnam, a teacher at the Academy. It was originally named Faith Hall, because at its start, they lacked the funds to complete it, and were building it on faith. It was lived in by Vocational School girls, Academy boys and houses a portion of the Fireside Industries. It was used from 1913 to 1970, and stood about where Anna Smith student parking now is. It was razed in the summer of 1971.

Parish House (Academy Chapel, Foundation School Chapel, “The
Ship”Built from 1902 to 1903, the building had a few transformations. It was the Academy Chapel, the Foundation School’s Chapel, and “The Ship” when used by the Navy V-12 students. It was the seventh building built by the college for religious uses, and it had also served as Union Church until the one across the street was built. The college bought it from Union Church in 1922, and it was used until it was razed in 1971.

Anna Smith was built from 1949 to 1950 in a space cleared by Prospect, Rose and Marshall Cottages. It was built to house female students.
