Healy Hall
Healy Hall is the historic flagship building at the main campus of Georgetown University. Constructed between 1877-79, it was designed by prominent architects Paul J. Pelz and John L. Smithmeyer at the time they were working on the Library of Congress. The building was listed on DC Inventory of Historic Sites in 1964, on the National Register of Historic Places on May 25, 1971, and as a National Historic Landmark on December 23, 1987. Healy Hall was named after the then President of Georgetown University, Patrick Francis Healy.
==History==
The building was built during the presidency of Patrick Francis Healy after whom it is named.
The construction of the building, from 1877 to 1879, dramatically increased the amount of classroom and living space - at the time it was also used as a dormitory - of what was then a small liberal arts college. The construction also left the university deeply in debt and in possession for years of an enormous pile of dirt as a result of the excavation, with no funds to remove it. As a result of the debts, the Gaston Hall auditorium could not be completed until 1909.
The building was brought to national attention in 1973 when it acted as a prominent background for the film ''The Exorcist''. In 1990 the interior hall and also the second story of the building featured in ''The Exorcist III''.
