Jenkins Hall; an academic building dedicated to George Carrell Jenkins
-
In the 1920s George Carrell Jenkins, a Baltimore businessman from one of Maryland's oldest Catholic families, donated funds to build two buildings on the Loyola College campus. Jenkins Hall, which originally served as Loyola's library and now serves as an academic and administrative building, was constructed using Jenkins' donation and is named in his honor. This building also houses "The Study," a quiet space on campus for students to work on assignments and research. Jenkins served as a private in the Confederate Army, First Maryland Calvary, Company C from 1862-1865. He was known as a strong supporter of Lost Cause ideals, as was noted in his June 1930 obituary in Loyola's student newspaper.
