Formerly called the E. Lee Trinkle Library, this building was named in honor of E. Lee Trinkle, a highly successful lawyer and former governor of Virginia. Governor Trinkle realized the great importance of well-prepared teachers and lent the force of his influence as governor and as president of the State Board of Education to improving facilities for their preparation and standards for their certification.

In January 1940, the Virginia General Assembly authorized funds to build a badly needed library for Mary Washington College. J.Binford Walford of Richmond, the architect who designed the other college buildings that were built in the 1930s and 40s, completed the plans for the new 150,000-volume library by July 1940. Construction was begun by fall of the same year. Built by Doyle and Russell of Roanoke, the library was completed in the fall of 1941 at a cost of $177,000. Additional furnishings and equipment brought the total cost to over $225,000. Furnishings included solid walnut tables for the reading rooms designed by J.Binford Walford and made by the Virginia Craftsmen of Hiarrisonburg who also made Windsor chairs to match.

Replaced by the Simpson Library in 1986, Trinkle Hall today houses the departments of classics, religion, philosophy, historic preservation, math and computer science.
