Woods Hall was the first new building on campus following the Civil War.
 Constructed from 1867 to 1868, the four-story brick structure was built with a Gothic Revival arcade on the ground floor, end facades in the Gothic Revival style with a crenelated roof, and cast iron galleries on the central upper floors.
 Initially known simply as "the barracks," it was used as a dormitory.
 It also had a dining hall and classrooms on the ground floor.
It remained a dormitory until 1961, when it was converted for use by the Department of Art and Art History.

The area between Woods Hall on the one side and Woods, Clark, and Manly on the other side is known as Woods Quad.
