Gilchrist Hall is a historic dormitory in the Florida State University Historic District in Tallahassee, Florida. Gilchrist Hall was designed in the collegiate gothic style by Rudolph Weaver and constructed between 1926 and 1928, with a complete renovation in 1998. The building gets its name from the 20th governor of Florida, Albert Waller Gilchrist, in honor of his support to the Florida State College of Women (FSCW), which became Florida State University, and who died during the hall's construction.
