Postcard of Walton Hall, a women's dormitory on the Waynesburg College campus, in Waynesburg, Greene County, Pennsylvania.

Wayne Smith, History of Greene County, Pennsylvania, pages 822 and 978). Prior to that period, the Blair Hotel and a house in town were among the local buildings used as hospitals.
