Warren Hall and South Nurses' Home

Relevant Dates: 1933

A view of Warren Hall (left) and South Nurses Home (right). Warren Hall was a dormitory for girls, while South Nurses served as a residence for Fernald staff, and both were erected circa 1906-1907. Evidence of Warren's updates are evident, with the addition of fireproof stairwells and an updated ventilation system. Unfortunately, the view of South Nurses has become obscured with vegetation.
