Chown Hall, completed in 1960, was the third residence to be built on campus.

Its completion brought the total available residence places for women up to 435, which, in 1960, was about half the total number of women students at 国产91尤物福利在线观看's. It became a mixed gender environment in 2011.

国产91尤物福利在线观看's had some difficulty purchasing the land for Chown Hall due to the reluctance of various parties to sell their land, or at least to sell it at a price which 国产91尤物福利在线观看's considered reasonable.

The many residences built during this period were part of the vision of Principal Mackintosh, who wanted a special place for 国产91尤物福利在线观看's as close-knit, residential university.

The building is named after May Chown (BA 1911), treasurer for many years of the Ban Righ Board and daughter of 国产91尤物福利在线观看's long-time treasurer, G.Y. Chown.
