Dow Hall is the most significant building (the rest are modern concrete/brick and glass buildings) in the now closed Briarcliff College in Briarcliff Manor, NY. It was originally a women’s college founded as Mrs. Dow’s School for Girls in 1903 at the Briarcliff Lodge. After Walter W. Law donated land and a building for the college, it operated at its location at 235 Elm Road in Briarcliff until 1977; closing due to low enrollment and financial problems. Pace University subsequently operated it as part of its Pleasantville campus from 1977 to 2015. In an effort to consolidate its campuses, Pace University sold the campus in 2017 to the Research Center on Natural Conservation, a host to conferences relating to global warming and conservation. The campus was again sold in 2021, to a Viznitz Yeshiva congregation.
