It is currently the oldest building on the Lawrence University campus. When it was first built, Main Hall housed a library, chapel, classrooms, housing for men, and offices for faculty and administration. Today it holds classrooms and offices for classics, languages, history, philosophy, and religious studies departments, as well as a student commons and a faculty lounge. It is the main symbol used to identify the college, being used on letterheads and other official items.

It is constructed of stone from local limestone quarries, with a dome made from wood and hand-hewed beams from local sawmills but was originally planned to be built out of red brick.
