Opened in 1915, Shoemaker Hall has since served as a dormitory. It was named for Waite Shoemaker, an 1881 graduate of St. Cloud State, who served as a faculty member and then St. Cloud State president from 1902 to 1916. A south addition was completed in 1960.
Fannie McGaughey was a member of the first graduating class of St. Cloud State. In addition, she was here on the first day of classes in September 1869
Constructed on the north side of Selke Field in 1947, these units housed military veterans and, later, married students. The buildings were razed in 1968.
Lawrence Hall, named after long-time faculty member Isabel Lawrence, opened in 1905 as a dormitory for women. It replaced the first Lawrence Hall after a fire destroyed it in early 1905.
