The '''Grove Dormitories''' were four proposed five story dormitories to be built in [[The Grove]]. The plans were commissioned by [[Seth Low]] from [[McKim, Meade and White]] in June of 1898 after Low caved to pressure from the [[trustees]] to build housing for students on the new [[Morningside Heights campus]] after the plans for the independently owned and operated [[Hamilton Court]] fell through. Low was philosophically opposed a residential system, and despite having the plans commissioned, never put the effort into getting them funded and built. It wouldn't be until [[Marcellus Hartley Dodge]] donated [[Hartley Hall]] in [[1903]] that a dormitory would finally get built.
