'''Seth Low Hall''' is a [[Teachers College]]-owned residential building at 106 Morningside Drive that serves as faculty housing. Curiously, it is the only building on [[Morningside Heights]] honoring [[Seth Low]], the [[President of Columbia University]] ([[Low Library]] honors Low's father, Abiel Abbot Low.)

== History ==
Seth Low Hall was built by private developers as Janus Court in [[1910]]. In the [[1919]-[[1920]] fiscal year, Teachers College purchased it for $176,000 (along with [[Bancroft Hall]] for $257,000) to satisfy the booming demand for student housing.<ref>[http://books.google.com/books?id=-qzX59DGl2UC&pg=PA56#v=onepage&f=false Report of the Controller - Dean's Report for Year Ending June 1920, Teachers College, Columbia University].</ref><ref>[http://books.google.com/books?id=MMagAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA134#v=onepage&f=false Living Arrangements - Teachers College Residence Halls - Announcement of Teachers College School of Education Announcement 1920-1921]</ref>
