Mallory Hall memorializes Angela Mallory (1815-1901), wife of Confederate Secretary of the Navy and U.S. Senator from Florida Stephen R. Mallory. UF officially admitted 500 women in 1947. In prior years (1924-46), women were allowed to take classes at UF not offered at the Florida State College for Women (FSU). Mallory, Reid and Yulee Halls were built to house the then new students and to replace UF leased off-campus housing that was overcrowded, had poor study conditions, and charged excessive rent. Mallory was the last remaining women-only hall until Fall 2004 when it became coed by floor. Mallory is part of the Yulee Residence Area.
Near Mallory Hall is an outdoor swimming pool, a series of tennis courts, and a large grassy area dubbed "Broward Beach" where students and residents meet to enjoy the sun. In close proximity is the recently-constructed Broward Dining Facility.
