Torrey Hall27 Colchester AvenueTorrey Hall has seen distinguished service as a library, a museum, and an art building. Originally, this structure was a two-story brick block measuring 40 feet by 60 feet. As the University’s library and second major liberal arts building, it was given a prominent location facing the Green on University Place when it was erected in 1862. UVM President Joseph Torrey presided over its dedication that year. (1)
