This structure, erected in 1853, was presented to the co\.· ,lege by Mr. W. J, Alford in memory of his father and mother. ,It is the oldest building on the campus, having served originally as the assembly hall of the Reformed Presbyterian Church of Cedarville. When the latter's congregation moved into their new building, the old church was remodeled, enlarged, and con– verted into a gymnasium by the laying of a basketball floor and the provision of wide tiers of bleacher space on each side.
