Merion

""

Dorm History

Designed by Addison Hutton and completed in 1885–the year Bryn Mawr opened–Merion is Bryn Mawr's oldest residence hall. Many of its rooms still contain the fireplaces and window seats used by the College's first students, while its stairwells are decorated with the original stained glass windows. Merion's exterior stonework was recently repointed, and the copper detailing was replaced. Merion Green, the "center" of campus, serves as the main venue for outdoor events, including picnics, dances, concerts, carnivals, May Day, Commencement, and Reunion.

Address: 804 New Gulph Road, Bryn Mawr, PA 19010-2899
