Memorial Hall, also known as the General Service Building, is a historic dormitory building located on the campus of Coker College at Hartsville, Darlington County, South Carolina. It was built in two phases in 1913 and 1916. Memorial Hall is a three-story, five bay, masonry building with Neo-Classical details. The front façade features a three-bay projecting full-height portico supported by four colossal Corinthian order columns. In 1916, the General Service Building was added and consists of three distinct parts: a central projecting block and two dormitory wings. It was built with funds donated by the college’s founder, Major James Lide Coker.[2][3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[1]
