The South Dining Hall is the oldest of the two student dining halls at the University of Notre Dame.[4] It was designed by noted American architect Ralph Adams Cram and built in 1925 in collegiate Gothic style and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and the Indiana Register of Historic Sites and Structures.[5][6]

History

In the 1920s, the growing student population led to demand for a new dining hall to host the entire student body of more than two thousand.[7][8][9] Previously, students ate in the Main Building, Badin Hall, or off campus, and a lack of facilities had been a major issue for the university.[9] Planning for the new dining hall began in 1925 on the location of the former Notre Dame Farms on South Quad after the horse stables were hit by fire on October 13, 1925 and the farms were moved to east of campus.[10][9][9]

Ralph Adams Cram, a famous Boston architect specializing in the Gothic Revival style, received an honorary LL D from the university in 1924 and offered to design the new dining hall, which university president Walsh accepted.[8][9][11][12] Frank Lloyd Wright had previously offered to design such building, but his offer was declined.[13] The announcement of the new construction was made on December 15, 1925, after the building committee had conferred with Cram.[9][14][15]

Construction of South Dining Hall started on November 20, 1926, and was contracted to the Sollitt and Sons company.[16] The cost of the hall was $750,000 and was expected to be completed by September.[16] The plan included a large building, 232 by 204 feet, with two main dining rooms, a cafeteria for 300 people, a lay faculty dining room for 150 people, and lounge rooms.[16][17] The main dining rooms were expected to accommodate 2000 people.[17][18] The basement featured storage departments, a butcher shop, various food preparation rooms and other facilities.[17]

It was built to resemble a medieval guildhall.[19][11]

The structure was formally opened in September 1927, although not all construction was finished.[20][21] At completion, it was admired for its elegant architectural style, and was considered among the most beautiful university dining halls in the country.[20][21] The first meal was served on November 9, 1927.[22]

In 1941, to commemorate the 100 years of the University, the university commissioned Augustine G. Pall to paint murals on the walls of the Cafeteria.[23] The murals, unveiled in 1942, depicted several moments and figures from university history, including John Zahm and Julius Nieuwland, Edward Sorin, and others.[23]

It was renovated in 1997[4] [24] Based on Richtree Market [25]

A fire broke out in South Dining Hall on August 25th, 2010.[26][27][28]

Description

The building features two large dining rooms flanking a central cafeteria area where food is served. The dining halls are large, with 35-feet tall ceilings and large metal chandeliers. Each dining hall has a large fireplace on one end and a raised platform at each end, which used to be reserved for the clerics.[4][31]

The dining hall features a large replica painted by Lumen Martin Winter of the Last Supper by Leonardo DaVinci.[32] When Notre Dame hosted Navy recruits during WWII, family-style dining in South Dining Hall was substituted by quicker cafeteria service [33] A rivalry between supporters of South Dining Hall and those of North Dining Hall exists on campus.[34][35]

medieval architecture[19][11]

Gothic revival with Tudor collegiate gothic elements, such as pronounced oriel-like window towers on its walls.[11][6]

The dining hall hosts special meals and luncheons on occasion of particular events, in particular after football games.[36][37][38] Candlelight dinners.[38]

It has been described as one of the best dining halls in America, given its architecture by Cram, monumental scale, history, and decorative detail.[36][37]
