“Loyola Hall - Fordham U. — 1959”
The project was announced in April 1959 and became the Peter Faber Wing of Loyola Hall.
The 1959 entry aligns with Fordham's new seven-story, 100-room Faber Wing at Loyola Hall, announced as a $1.25 million expansion. It turns a terse campus name into a specific story about how the university housed a growing Jesuit community.
What Kelly did here
Family source
Probable
Likely: selective masonry alteration: likely CMU/block partitions and fire-rated walls, infill or enlargement of openings, patching/rebuilding of existing masonry, and localized brick/stone work rather than the building's original structural frame.
This scope is recorded as probable, not documented. It is a disciplined reading of the building and the trade practice of the period, not a contract-level record of Kelly’s work.
