Formerly known as Hearthstone Hall because of its many fireplaces and chimneys, this forty-four room mansion was built in 1920 by Walter B. Lashar, owner of the American Chain and Cable Company. Original plans suggest that the Lashars were thinking of extending the back terrace of the house (visible to the right of the building in this photograph) into an Italianate pavilion and swimming pool.

In 1989, with the help of a generous gift from Charles and Helen Dolan, Fairfield University purchased the property and renamed it the Dolan Campus. This campus now houses many university departments, including the Health Center, University College, Human Resources, and Computing and Network Services, as well as a dormitory.
