I lived here around 1985....was hall president. It was a great dorm. I was a student staff at the dorm and my 2nd year living there had the upstairs room above the main entrance with the great windows. I have a magazine that ran an article about the top scariest/haunted places in Indiana - including Elliott Hall!
Yeah there is the story of the student who hung himself and some people have seen his ghost hanging from the wall in the upstairs library...but I so far have not seen it.
Thanks for the tour man! This is undoubtedly the nicest dorm on campus at Ball State! Elliott Hall was known as the "Senior Dorm" back in 1986 when I lived there (room 208 I believe). It faces the back (West) towards Burris School. The word at the time was that this dorm was a replica of a dormitory at Harvard Unversity.
The building itself serves as a monument to one of the Ball Brother's sons who died in a plane crash while in college. This is the exact replica of the building the son lived in when he died. I'm not it was a replica of a Harvard dorm but I know it was a east coast school.
Can't get enough of this song.
