College Hall
Built in 1926 by Charles Ringling of the Ringling Brothers Circus, College Hall is the signature building on the New College campus. Made of Etowah marble, the historic mansion features a music room with burnished wood floor, timbered ceilings and a vintage Aeolian pipe organ, an expansive living room with fireplace, an enclosed terrace with Renaissance Italian decor, a wrought iron staircase with a contemporary mural paying homage to the Ringling legacy, and modern restroom facilities.
Outside,
College Hall offers a spacious grassy lawn and spectacular vistas
overlooking Sarasota Bay and Longboat Key in the distance.
There is also a rose garden with several rare species of roses and a
champion Camphor tree -- the largest of its kind in North America.
The mansion and bayfront are an elegant setting for your special event, from weddings to birthdays, bar mitzvahs and cocktail receptions.
