The colorful history of Morley Music Hall is only hinted at by its classic Greek design and Bedford limestone construction. From the names of the composers carved on the stones of its exterior walls to the pervasive ghost stories (easily attributable to its pipe organ and an open door or two), Morley is surrounded in a rich history that parallels the sense of tradition at Lake Erie College. In April of 1978, this tradition served all the people of Ohio when the Ohio Supreme Court held its sessions in the Morley Music Hall.

Today, the Music Hall serves our music students with its practice rooms and music library. However, the grandeur of Morley's more than 800 person seating capacity, Philippine Mahogany interior, and piano elevators normally serves Lake Erie College during convocations, artistic performances, commencement ceremonies (in bad weather), and other special occasions. Extensive renovation of the Morley Music Hall was completed in 1991 and again in 2006.
