The inscription on the front gable is a reminder that this building was "begged from God through prayer" and so "dedicated to God" as [Biblical] Samuel’s mother, Hannah, did immediately after his birth. Samuel Hall is a classically elegant building with dressed stonework, sash windows and louvers. Currently it is used as a student hostel. (See Wellington Heritage Trail).
