Albert and Leming Halls were completed in 1905 and 1906 respectively, and built to meet the growing demand for student housing close to campus. Albert Hall was an all-male dorm, and Leming an all-female dorm. At the time of completion these were the only dormitories on campus, and previously students had to rent housing or live with families in the town some distance from campus. No longer standing, these three story dorms were built of local limestone in the neoclassical style. Albert Hall was located where Dearmont Hall now stands, and Leming stood on the site of the current University Center. These halls were named for prominent members of the community who were instrumental in expanding the campus at the time.
