Designed by the noted architectural firm of Peabody & Stearns, McAuley is a rambling red sandstone mansion built in the Richardsonian Romanesque style and characterized by heavy rustication and rounded arches.

Named in honor of Catherine McAuley, founder of the Sisters of Mercy, McAuley served the University as both residence hall and library in the years since 亚洲博彩平台排名 acquired the property in 1955.
