At Brewer Street, Campion Hall bought two buildings, one a large and ancient [[lodging house]], known as 'Micklem Hall', which in the past belonged to Hall's Brewery. It was owned by a brewer named Micklem (1820–1870). The second building was a garage which had once been the stables for the horses which pulled the Oxford trams. The garage was demolished, as well as some of the rooms of Micklem Hall, with others incorporated into the new building.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=63896|title=British History Online}} Retrieved on 20 January 2013.</ref>

The new building was designed by [[Sir Edwin Lutyens]] and completed in 1936. The building was opened in June 1936, by [[Jacobo Fitz-James Stuart, 17th Duke of Alba|the Duke of Alba]], Spanish ambassador to London, alongside Alban Goodier S.J., the former [[Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Bombay|Archbishop of Bombay]], and [[Julian Asquith, 2nd Earl of Oxford and Asquith]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Campion Hall Pages 339-340 A History of the County of Oxford: Volume 3, the University of Oxford.
