A student dormitory located at 183-185 Allen Place in the North Campus area.

The dormitory, which is a converted apartment house, was formerly known as Allen East. The College purchased the property along with the adjacent building, which later was named Park Place Hall in 1957 for $65,000. It was originally used for faculty housing and then converted to student living spaces.

In 1982, in an effort to name the “nameless” dorms on Trinity's campus, a committee, with student and administrative input, voted to name the dormitory Boardwalk Hall.

Residential Services designated Boardwalk the Music Dorm in 1991, supporting students studying music, with practice space for individuals and bands within the dorm itself.

In 2012 Boardwalk and Park Place underwent exterior renovation upgrades, and in 2019, the dorms closed for extensive interior repairs and renovations upgrades totaling over $2 million.
