Snider Hall

Snider Hall stands as a three-story Colonial Revival structure with Palladian-type facades, symmetrical design, and classical architectural details at Southern Methodist University.

The building, constructed in 1927 under architect Wyatt C. Hedrick's direction, became part of the National Register of Historic Places in September 1980.

The building includes an elephant sculpture above the south entrance, commemorating C.W. Snider's collection of elephant figurines and strengthening campus traditions.

Located at 3305 Dyer Street, this residential facility provides accommodation for female students with updated amenities while maintaining its historical character.

The hall emerged during a critical period following the destruction of earlier male dormitories, marking a shift toward dedicated female student housing at the university.
