 McBryde Hall - 1909

Built in the eclectic style of medieval hall, McBryde for years was the primary dining place for Winthrop students. Upperclassmen presided at the heads of tables; students sat in assigned seats for family-style meals. The building's namesake is Sarah Crosby Chappell McBryde, who served as school dietitian from 1919-45. Its spacious Tudor design accentuates the high hammer-beamed ceilings supported by an elaborate timber system. A 1991 renovation restored the building and made possible the main hall's use for social and conference functions. The adjoining Tuttle Dining Room, which seats up to 100 guests, is used for smaller events.
