- catalog description "Hollis Hall was a dormitory built in 1763 in Harvard Yard. On April 19, 1775 following the Battles of Lexington and Concord, the Massachusetts militia surrounded British troops in Boston, beginning a siege of the city that would last until March 1776. In Cambridge, Harvard students were dismissed early for summer vacation in May 1775, and shortly after, the Massachusetts Provincial Congress occupied Harvard's buildings. From October 1775 until June 1776, the College assembled in Concord, while in Cambridge, Hollis Hall, Massachusetts Hall, Stoughton Hall, and Holden Chapel were used as barracks for Continental soldiers, with Massachusetts Hall and Hollis Hall each housing approximately 640 men. During this time the roof of Harvard Hall was melted to make bullets. The siege of Boston ended with the evacuation of the British on March 17, 1776, and the College reassembled in Cambridge on June 21, 1776.".
