Notes
  • Significance: Bancroft Hall, the midshipmen's residence, is one of the three centerpieces of Ernest Flagg's grandiose plan for the Naval Academy. It is the largest, most complex, and richly decorated of the original Flagg buildings. The formal interior spaces and exterior elevations are lavish and where most of the Academy's major ceremonial activities, including the daily midshipmen's formation, take place. "Mother Bancroft" is said to be the largest contiguous set of academic dormitories in the U.S. In addition to its function as a dormitory, so many other functions take place here that it is said that a midshipman need never leave the building. Bancroft Hall was named for George Bancroft, Secretary of the Navy at the time of the founding of the Academy in 1845, in the cabinet of President James K. Polk.
