Alumni Hall (then known as the Seminary Building) was the original building on the campus when
Westbrook Seminary, a predecessor of the
University of New England, was established in 1831. It opened its doors on June 9, 1834. It was given its current name after an 1894 renovation. The structure's
cupola is a remnant of
Portland's former
Market House, which stood in
Monument Square between 1825 and 1833, when the building was remodeled to become the first
Portland City Hall. An inscription by Levi Quinby Pierce was etched into the bell tower during its addition to Alumni Hall. The building was renovated between April 2015 and June 2016, having been closed since 2004. File:Alumni Hall cupola.jpg|
