Copley Hall, named for Father Thomas J. Copley, S.J., an early Jesuit missionary to America, has since its opening been considered one of the finest dormitories in the world. The façade is a “sermon in stone” that is resplendent with ornamentation tracing Georgetown’s path from 1634 to the building’s dedication in 1930.
