  • Prichard Hall was originally a female dormitory for freshmen. It is now an administration building "Toward Becoming a University." Marshall University. 1997. 20 Dec. 2006 {Link without Title} ..

  • The original C&O hospital building was originally the residence of the first mayor of Huntington, Peter Cline Buffington, until its purchase by the Catholic sisterhood King's Daughters in 1890. King's Daughters sold it to the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway in 1899, which began operating a hospital from the house the following year (the C & O Hospital began accepting patients July 1900). In 1920, a four-story brick annex was built; the Buffington residence was demolished. Subsequent additions were made in 1930, 1942, 1959, and 1984. In 1971, the C&O Hospital was renamed Doctors Memorial Hospital to honor the physicians killed in the 1970 plane crash. In 1977, the West Virginia Board of Regents bought the building to house the newly-formed Marshall University School of Medicine, which was based there until 1998. It was demolished in 2001.
