Pemberton Hall was opened in 1909, named in honor of State Senator Stanton C. Pemberton, who was influential in getting the appropriation approved for the building of the residence hall. In addition to having a reputation for being “haunted,” Pemberton Hall is the oldest women’s residence hall in the State of Illinois and a historical landmark.
It is located on the southeast corner of 4th Street and Lincoln Avenue in Charleston.
