The record — long form

Candler is the dormed — the '1901' that's the building's year, the 'male' that's the residents' kind. The 'Herty Field' is the ground — the 'first football' that's the field's claim, the '1892' that's the game's year. The 'governor' is the named — the 'Allen Candler' that's the namesake's rank, the 'Beaux-Arts' that's the style's dress.

The 'dorm ended' is the shifted — the '1952' that's the housing's close, the 'institute' that's the building's next role. The 'renovated' is the kept — the '2003' that's the fix's year, the 'scored stucco' that's the facade's trick. Candler is the schooled — the 'SPIA' that's the tenant's name, the 'public affairs' that's the building's work.

The file keeps Candler: the dormed hall, the football field, the governor's name, and the schooled present.

Candler Hall is the archive's Georgia file — the dorm that became a school.

Why this file matters

Candler Hall is the archive's Georgia file — the dormitory that outgrew its beds.

A hall keeps its field — the file's suggestion being that Candler's hold is the layered: the 'dorm' that's the first life, the 'Herty' that's the sports' ground, and the 'SPIA' that's the building's second act.

Heard rather than seen: the report that keeps the file open.

Death details are published institutional narrative; archival verification remains outstanding.
