Distinguishing Features
Howard Hall is probably best known for its quaint double archway that separates the first floor into two sections and passes under the upper three floors of the hall. Adorning these arches and the other main entrances to Howard are a number of gargoyle-type stone carvings depicting anything from an owl to a student who has just received a less-than-stellar report card. To the west, the archway is adorned with a statue of Saint Timothy. Howard offers dorm rooms that range in size from 1 to 4 residents. Half of the rooms are singles, with the remaining rooms including: doubles, triples, 2-person suites, 3-person suites, and 4-person suites. The residence hall also includes several common areas, a kitchen, a laundry room, and a recently renovated chapel. The chapel features a pietà by sculptor Jean de Marco.

Famous quotes containing the word features:
“It is a tribute to the peculiar horror of contemporary life that it makes the worst features of earlier times—the stupefaction of the masses, the obsessed and driven lives of the bourgeoisie—seem attractive by comparison.”
—Christopher Lasch (b. 1932)
