Local businessmen I. J. Albert and M. E. Leming served on the Normal Dormitory Association which was created in 1904 to erect two buildings on the south side of Normal Avenue. In September 1904, work on the men's dormitory known as Albert Hall was begun and, shortly after, so did work on the women's dormitory, Leming Hall. Each dormitory was three stories high and built of "blue" limestone. The student rooms measured 13 feet by 12 feet and had two closets of 3 square feet. Albert Hall was demolished in the early 1960s to make room for a new dormitory, Dearmont Hall. Leming Hall was demolished in the late 1970s to make room for the building of the new University Center.
