Bare concrete arches of Alumni Hall construction looking west
Through the concrete arches of Alumni Hall, cars and Gonzaga Hall can be seen in the background. Loyola Hall is visible in the background on the far right. There used to be a road that went from in front of Alumni Hall heading toward Loyola, then south toward Gonzaga and up the hill to meet the road between the Chapel and Bellarmine. There is no road anymore – just sidewalk where the cars are in the photograph. This is all sidewalks and walking paths now. On the far left, Canisius would be just beyond the view of the photograph.

Barlow Road, south entrance
This is the south entrance to Fairfield College Preparatory School, as seen from Barlow Road. The driveway is unpaved and the entrance is flanked by two pillars. White signs for Fairfield College Preparatory School/Bellarmine Hall are on either side of the entrance.

Basement in McAuliffe Hall
This is a photograph of a room in the basement of McAuliffe Hall, although its exact location within the building is undetermined. It appears to be a lunchroom of sorts, with a cash register and counter in the back.

Bellarmine Hall, a view of the grotto looking south-southeast
This is a photograph taken from the terrace of Bellarmine Hall, looking south-southeast. There is a basket weave pattern on the terrace flooring and a stone bench. Original plans suggest that the Lashars were thinking of extending this part of the house into an Italianate pavilion.
27.
Bellarmine Hall, dining room
The dining room is where the Jesuit faculty residents of Bellarmine Hall ate their meals. The portrait above the fireplace of the Madonna and Child is not original to the room; previously there hung a portrait of Mrs. Amelia Lashar, wife of Walter B. Lashar.

Bellarmine Hall, Great Hall, looking east-northeast
This is a view of the Great Hall inside Bellarmine Hall. There is a recessed fireplace, and to the left of that a recessed entrance to the dining room. There is a musician’s gallery above the fireplace. The wooden panels on the left resemble folded linen. The lighting fixtures are still present.
32.
Bellarmine Hall, Great Hall, looking northwest
This is what is called the Great Hall inside Bellarmine. The doors on the far left open into what is now the President's office. The fireplace has stone work above it, and above that are wooden panels with plant and floral motifs. There are two carved wooden portraits of a Renaissance man and woman in each upper corner of the fireplace paneling. The portrait above the fireplace is an official Jesuit photograph of His Excellency Bishop Maurice F. McAuliffe of Hartford who was a great benefactor of the college.

Bellarmine Hall, interior view from Great Hall to front entrance
This is the inside entrance of Bellarmine Hall. While the exterior was built in the style of an English manor house, the inside rooms were done in other styles including Tudor, Adam, and Chinoserie or Oriental décor. The Tudor style of the last 16th and 17th centuries is shown the Hall's open stairwell and arches. The interiors themselves were built in sections at Haydon Company in Bridgeport and then brought to the house and reassembled.

Bellarmine Hall, the Great Hall, looking northwest into main corridor
