Byrd Hall
Byrd was the where the Mallet Assembly called home from 1972 until 2007 and then sadly it was demolished in 2011.
Byrd Hall was located behind the President's Mansion on the University of Alabama campus in Tuscaloosa, Al. It was named for Mable Byrd, and was originally a women's dormitory. Blueprints for Byrd Hall are dated September 1946, so the Hall was likely completed in 1948. Mallet Assembly moved to Byrd Hall in 1972; we previously resided in Sommerville Hall in 1971, and in Mallet Hall prior to that.
