Welcome to McBryde Hall



McBryde Hall built originally in 1909. Surprisingly with all the "no eating or drinking" signs, McBryde was the original dining hall for Winthrop University students. It was named after Sarah Crosby Chappell McBryde, who served as school dietitian from 1919-1945.  





 
With the renovation in 1991 many will say McBryde looks a lot like the dinning hall on the popular Harry Potter series, but it was actually inspired by the refectory at Oxford's Christ Church






McBryde is divided in to two separate halls, the Tuttle Dining Room and the Batten Dinning hall, which are both used for smaller affairs. The Hall is now used for social evens such as various Winthrop Events, conferences, and even wedding receptions.
