Erected in 1899 thanks to Lord Strathcona’s donation of £50,000, the building was a self-contained unit, serving as both dormitory and educational facility until 1971, when the original, central section and the eastern wing were given to the Faculty of Music. RVC’s westernmost wings, the Vaughan wing (built, on the corner of University and Sherbrooke Streets, in 1931) and the Roscoe wing (set further back on University Street in 1964), continued to serve their function as 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ’s only all-female residence.
