The original building on what was originally called the College of St. Catherine campus, Derham Hall was named for farmer Hugh Derham of Rosemount, Minnesota, who donated $20,000 to construct the building. The building originally also housed Derham Hall High School, an all-girls Catholic high school, until 1962; that school later merged to become Cretin-Derham Hall High School in 1987.[3]
Our Lady of Victory Chapel
The Our Lady of Victory Chapel was completed in 1924 under the direction of Sister Antonia McHugh, who helped found St. Catherine in 1905 and served as its leader for more than 30 years; it was dedicated on October 7, 1924 and rededicated following renovation on May 1, 1958. It was designed by H.A. Sullwold in the Romanesque style and influenced by the Church of St. Trophime in Arles, Provence, France. The entrance features friezes depicting Christ, the Twelve Apostles and the school's patron saint, St. Catherine of Alexandria. The stained glass panel behind the altar depicts Christ the King. The chapel is decorated with ornate tile designs using symbols of Christianity and the humanities. The barrel vault ceiling reaches a height of 126 feet (38 m).[4]
