Acquired by Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania as part of a property exchange on June 11, 1954, the former Allison Memorial Church House was renamed in honor of President George Edward Reed.  The house was remodeled in 1958 at a cost of $25,589, and began serving the department of psychology and education. 

When these departments later relocated, Reed Hall became a student residence, serving various fraternities and other student organizations.
