One
of Winthrop's finer examples of the Neo-Georgian architectural style, Joynes was the first
building on the north side of campus, setting stylistic precedents for later
buildings, including nearby Thurmond. Joynes was originally used as a residence hall for single faculty members.
In 1969 it was converted to house foreign students but closed
in 1973. At that time, it became Joynes Conference Center for Continuing
Education. Its namesake was Dr. Edward S. Joynes, charter member of the Board of
Trustees and one of the guiding forces behind Winthrop's founding in 1886.
In 1989 the building was renamed Joynes Hall and served as the Winthrop
Conference Center until 2003.
