Buildings, Memorials & Statues | Iona University

In 1916, Judge Martin J. Keogh invited a group of Christian Brothers to start a school in New Rochelle. Br. Joseph Ignatius Doorley became the first principal and named the school on Lockwood Avenue after St. Columba's island monastery: "Iona School." The first building erected for Iona Prep was Doorley Hall, built in 1934. The forward-looking Br. Doorley went on to purchase 18-acres of land in New Rochelle that would later become the site of Iona University. The first building occupied by Iona University at its founding was Cornelia Hall, built in 1940.
