Narrative:
Le Fer Hall was named after two of Blessed Mother Theodore Guerin's companions who came to America from France. The stained glass windows on the landing of the marble stairs just above the main floor are the gift of the class of 1930. The windows were executed in the Munich studios of E. Frei, of Saint Louis. Work is being done to air condition parts of the building, and all student rooms have outside exposure.
