Bancroft Hall - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Bancroft Hall at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, is the largest single dormitory in the United States. |
 | | Bancroft Hall, named after former Secretary of the Navy George Bancroft, is home for the entire brigade of 4,000 midshipmen, and contains some 1,700 rooms, five miles of corridors, and 33 acres of floor space. |
 | | Bancroft Hall, designed by Beaux-Arts architect Ernest Flagg and built in 1901–06, has eight wings—arranged, as on a ship, with even-numbered wings on one side ("port") and odd-numbered wings on the other ("starboard")—of five stories ("decks") each numbered 0-4. |
