Built in 1927 and dedicated in honor of Galen Stone, by far Palmer's largest contributor, this building was the school's dormitory for girls. In 1950 Stone Hall suffered a disastrous fire. By the following fall, however, after a whirlwind campaign by Brown, it had been completely renovated.

Stone Hall is perhaps the building most remembered by Palmer students. In addition to dormitory rooms it also contained a beauty salon; offices; guest room; matron room with bath; and lounge, television, guest, and sick rooms. During the 1940s Stone Hall housed between 125 and 140 girls.
