Bemis Hall, a Tudor Revival-style building of Colorado College, in Colorado Springs, Colorado, was built as a dormitory in 1908. It was designed by architect Maurice B. Biscoe. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.[1][2]

Major donations towards funding the building were provided by General William Jackson Palmer, founder of Colorado Springs and Colorado College, and by Judson M. Bemis, a manufacturer who moved to Colorado Springs in 1881.[2]
