Pell Hall was a building designated to be built with funds from a bequest by Mary B. Pell, widow of John B. Pell Class of 1852. The bequest was valued around 500,000 as of December 1913.[1] The bequest was tied up in real estate investments subject to life estates, presumably with Columbia as remainderman. As Pell Hall was obviously never built, it's unclear what happened to the money.
