Coming through the gate of Tsuda College Kodaira Campus, there is a main school building, which should be called the college symbol. Tsuda College named the main school building as “Hartshorne Hall” honoring Anna C. Hartshorne, who devoted herself to rebuild the school, which was reduced to smithereens. There is an existing album, which shows the figure of Hartshorne Hall completed in 1931 (the 6th year of the Showa Period).

Hartshorne Hall was designed by Koichi Sato (Magnum Opus: Okuma Auditorium of Waseda University) and completed in 1931 (the 6th year of the Showa Period). It has Imperial Crown Style three-story building (some part is four-story) and is delicate, gentle, and fresh. It was designated as one of Tokyo-Metropolitan-Selected Historical Buildings in 2001 (the 13th year of the Heisei Period). In 2003 (the 15th year of the Heisei Period) the repair work was made for external building and it shows the beautiful figure now after nearly 80 years.
