Overview:
Roble Hall is one of Stanford's oldest and most historic residences. Constructed in 1917, it is the largest four-class dorm (not to mention the best) on campus, holding about 310 students, about half of whom are freshmen. Originally, a women's residence, Roble was designed by George Kelham, who also designed the San Francisco Public Library, and was considered an architectural jewel of the Beaux-Arts movement.
Roble is the oldest continuous dormitory at Stanford. It takes its name from the Spanish term from the valley oak trees that dot the Stanford campus. Roble offers a welcoming and fun-loving environment for living and learning at Stanford.
