The five Ball brothers who donated the land that became Ball State University, also donated funds used to build Elliott Hall. The gift was in honor of Frank Elliott Ball, son of Frank C. Ball, one of the five brothers. Frank Elliot was killed in an airplane accident while he was a student at Princeton University. Elliott Hall is an exact replica of the residence hall Frank lived in at Princeton.
Today it is a coed home to 120 Ball State students.
