plaque
located

entrance

.
Plaque
reads
: "
Sumner
Hall
-
In
honor
of her
singular
devotion
and
unfaltering
courage
during
the
early
years
of
struggle
which
gave
this
college
birth
and
character
, this
building
,
since
the
year
1893
, has
borne
the
name
of
Mary
Louisa
Stedman
Sumner
wife
of
Charles
Burt
Sumner
.
Erected
in
1887
as a
hotel
in the
prospective
town
of
Claremont
and
located
at that
time
on the
western
edge
of what
is
now
Marston
Quadrangle
, this
building
became
the
first
home
of
Pomona
College
in
1889
. With
repeated
additions
and
modifications
it
at
first
housed
all
the
activities
of the
college
,
later
was the
residence
and
dining
hall
of the
entire
student
body
and then for
many
years
was the
sole
women's
dormitory
. The
original
structure
was
rebuilt
upon
this
site
in the
year
1922
by
friends
of the
college
who
desired
to
perpetuate
the
influences
here
established
and
made
sacred
by these
associations.
