Building History edit
Kirby Hall was constructed nearby the University of Texas, Austin campus by the Methodist Board of Missions in 1924 as an all women dormitory. The Dormitory remained open until the fall of 1971 and sat empty until it received renovations and updates for the opening of Kirby Hall School in 1976. Kirby Hall School gained recognition by Austin's Historic Landmark Committee recognizing it as a historic building shortly before opening in 1976.[2]
