Description
The construction date of George Parsons Hall is unknown. Parsons Hall was the first building on the college campus. The building existed on the ten acres of land given to the Trustees of the University of Georgia to establish a college for blacks. The land was donated by George Parsons of New York City, and was so named in his honor. Parsons Hall served as the first dormitory for male students and residences for faculty. It also housed the college post office. The building was demolished in the 1950s. It was located on the present site of the campus swimming pool.
