North Central College has named a historic Naperville property in honor of William and Mary Abe in appreciation for their generous support of the College.
Built in 1909 with connections to founders of North Central College, the red brick church was acquired by the College and renamed Meiley-Swallow Hall in 2007.
North Central College did not provide room and dining facilities in the early 20th century, but private homes offered room and eating clubs served up meals.
