One of the campus residence halls, this four-story structure was completed in 1927.
It is named for the Rev. John J. Lynch, CM. (1816-1888), the co-founder of this university. In 1856, Father Lynch and a colleague, Father John Monaghan, traveled to the Village of Suspension Bridge, now the north end of Niagara Falls, and learned of land for sale on Monteagle Ridge a few miles north in Lewiston. The 110-acre Vedder Farm was purchased on Feb. 23, 1857, and two months later, Father Lynch purchased the adjoining 160-acre DeVeaux farm.
In 1859, three years after he purchased the site on which the university is located, Father Lynch was named coadjutor bishop of Toronto. In 1870, the Irish-born Vincentian was named Toronto's first archbishop.
