Hope College was built in 1822 and named after Hope Brown Ives. Hope College is the oldest residence hall on the Brown University campus. In 1959, Hope College was reconstructed into the building that stands today. A four story brick building on the Main Green, the building's location is often considered amongst the best of all the residence halls.

Hope College was built in 1822 through the munificence of Nicholas Brown. In 1821 a committee of the Corporation had been appointed to consider erecting another building and was authorized to select a suitable site and solicit donations.
