History

Built in 1950, the four storyMallory,ReidandYuleehalls were designed byFlorida Board of ControlarchitectGuy Fultonin a simple, contemporary style in keeping with the board's mandate not to use the more expensiveCollegiate Gothicarchitectural style that had prevailed on campus since its creation in 1905. Fulton, though, did manage to unify the new buildings with the older ones by using the same basic materials of "clay roof tiles, redbrick and stone or concrete trim." Mallory was named forAngela Mallory,wife of U.S. Senator and Confederate cabinet memberStephen Mallory,Reid was named forMary Martha Reid,a prominent Confederate nurse during theAmerican Civil War,and Yulee was named forNancy Wycliffe Yulee,daughter of Kentucky Governor and U.S. Postmaster GeneralCharles A.
