Prince Hall was not always an academic building. Built in 1902, it was the original Ligett - Hilltop's men's dormitory. Vestiges of this are fairly apparent - the building clearly was not designed with easy navigation in mind, and there are far more small rooms in Prince than big ones.

One of Prince's bathrooms is itself likely a remnant of Prince's years as a dormitory - the men's room near room 117. Although one cannot be sure, its size (two urinals and a toilet) and its "old dorm" appearance certainly leads one to think that these bathrooms were themselves, at one point, bathrooms shared by several dorming students.

The bathroom itself is fairly ugly, particularly its sink. The room's cleanliness at the time of its review was not offensively bad or startlingly good. Other than its "dorm-like" appearance, this is a fairly generic bathroom.
