Laidley Hall

Laidley Hall was the first dormitory at Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia, opening its doors in 1937. Named after the university's founder, John Laidley, this three-story coed residence served not only as student housing but also as classrooms and a tutoring center. Although it has since been demolished, Laidley Hall played a significant role in the early development of campus life at Marshall University, making it a point of interest for those exploring the history of the university and the city.
