 Seabury Hall (1825) was the second building constructed for [[washington_college|Washington College]] on the [[old_campus|original campus]]. In addition to serving as the original [[chapel|chapel]] for the college, Seabury Hall housed recitation rooms, offices, a library, and the [[museum_of_natural_history|cabinet]]. Originally called "The Chapel," it was renamed Seabury Hall in 1845 after [[seabury_samuel|Samuel Seabury]], the first [[episcopal|Episcopal]] Bishop of Connecticut.
-According to Trinity tradition, the building was designed by Samuel F. B. Morse, who later invented the telegraph. However, there is no evidence to support this claim. Rather, it is more likely that Seabury Hall was designed by Solomon Willard, whose signature was present on a drawing of Jarvis Hall. Willard was an architect in Greek Revival style from the 1820s until the 1840s.
