History

Constructed: 1954-1955

Tipple was originally home to male Theological School students. It was named after Ezra Squier Tipple (1861-1936), Drew Theological Seminary's fifth president. As president, Tipple spend time nurturing a relationship with the Wendel family who would become benefactors of Drew. Today, Tipple and its nearby companion structure, Wendel Hall, are the primary residences for Graduate School and Theological School students, especially those with families. Many living units in the two buildings underwent renovation and modernization during 1998 and 1999.
