The hall was a brick building featuring such comforts as electric lights, a heating furnace and running water that was piped to the two bathrooms and the kitchen. The kitchen provided daily meals for fifty in a dining hall. Alpha Hall became the men's dormitory after the completion of East Hall in 1903.
