Agnes Howard Hall, also known as Ladies Hall or Aggie, is a historic dormitory on the campus of West Virginia Wesleyan College in Buckhannon, West Virginia. Built in 1895, it is a five-story brick building used mainly as a residence hall. Its design is eclectic, with three tower caps and multiple hip roofs. An addition was added in 1929, and extensive renovations occurred in 1952. The hall has 77 sleeping rooms and 26 bathrooms, plus offices for resident assistants, lounges, a kitchen, and maintenance storage areas. It was the first dormitory built at West Virginia Wesleyan College and remains the oldest on campus. It was officially named Agnes Howard Hall in 1920, in memory of a Wesleyan student who had died. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
