Little was a student dormitory located at 92-100 Crescent Street. It was first renovated and entered into the housing lottery in 1977, capable of housing 48 students.

In 1982, Little Dormitory was named in honor of Harry B. Little, of the architectural firm of Frohman, Robb & Little, the designers of the Trinity College Chapel.

Major renovations on Little were completed in the summer of 1986, when the building's exterior was covered with pink stucco and the interior rooms were transformed from quad rooms with private living rooms and baths, to single and double rooms. The renovation of Little was part of a larger plan to create new living and social spaces in that area of Crescent Street. This project, which was to be named Crescent Village, was designed by the architectural firm of Tai Soo Kim Associates of Hartford and was comprised of Little and an adjacent dormitory, Frohman-Robb.

Little Dormitory was demolished in 2013-2014 to make space for the new Crescent Street Townhouses and surface parking.
