The architect of the main early college buildings, including Lodge, Talbot and Wordsworth, was [[Sir Reginald Blomfield]], who had earlier worked on other educational commissions such as [[Shrewsbury School]], and [[Exeter College, Oxford]]. He used the [[French Renaissance architecture|French Renaissance style]] of the 17th century for the buildings and chose red brick with white stone facings, setting a tone the college was to continue to follow in later work.
These buildings describe the south and east of the Wolfson Quadrangle and run out into the gardens to the east. Blomfield was also involved in establishing and planning the gardens.

The central block, the Talbot Building (1910) on the North East of the main quad houses Talbot Hall and the Old Library (currently a reception and lecture room),<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.lmh.ox.ac.uk/About-LMH/Virtual-tour/Talbot-Hall.aspx|title=LMH, Oxford – Talbot|website=Lmh.ox.ac.uk|access-date=2017-03-11}}</ref> while the accommodation for students and tutors is divided between three wings, the Wordsworth Building (1896), the Toynbee Building (1915) and the Lodge Building (1926).<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.lmh.ox.ac.uk/About-LMH/Virtual-tour/Eleanor-Lodge.aspx|title=LMH, Oxford – Eleanor Lodge|website=Lmh.ox.ac.uk|access-date=2017-03-11}}</ref>

Talbot Hall contains some fine oak panelling donated by former students to honour Elizabeth Wordsworth and, prior to the Deneke Building, was used as a dining hall for the students. In recent years, it is used to house termly live music nights among other college events.

* Sir [[J. J. Shannon]]'s portrait of [[Elizabeth Wordsworth|Dame Elizabeth]]
* [[Philip de László]]'s of [[Henrietta Jex-Blake|Miss Jex-Blake]]
* Sir [[Rodrigo Moynihan]]'s of [[Lynda Grier|Dr Grier]]
* [[Maud Sumner]]'s of [[Lucy Sutherland|Miss Sutherland]]
In the old Library is a marble statue by [[Edith Bateson]].

On the North West is the Lynda Grier building (1962) housing the college library;<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.lmh.ox.ac.uk/About-LMH/Virtual-tour/Library.aspx|title=LMH, Oxford – Library|website=Lmh.ox.ac.uk|access-date=2017-03-11}}</ref> this was officially opened by [[Queen Elizabeth II]] in 1961.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.lmh.ox.ac.uk/about-lmh/lmh-library|title=LMH Library|website=Lady Margaret Hall|language=en|access-date=2017-08-23}}</ref> The ground floor of Lynda Grier was originally student accommodation but in 2006 it was converted into a law library, which was opened that year by [[Cherie Blair]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lmh.ox.ac.uk/About-LMH/Virtual-tour/Library.aspx|title=LMH Library|publisher=Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford|access-date=17 January 2010}}</ref> The library was of great importance when founded as women were not permitted to use the [[Bodleian Library]], and thus is relatively large for an Oxford college. Since 2016 the library has also featured a feminist book collection curated by Associate Fellow [[Emma Watson]], called "Our Shared Shelf". This collection supports a feminist book club that runs at the college.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.lmh.ox.ac.uk/our-academics/associate-fellow|title=Associate Fellow|publisher=Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford|access-date=12 September 2024}}</ref> The Briggs room originally contained the entire archive of rare and antiquarian books donated to the college over the years. However, due to its size of around 2,000 books, the archive is now stored in the Lawrence Lacerte Rare Books Room in the new Law Library extension on the ground floor. The collection includes a [[Quran]] created {{Circa|1600}} and a Latin translation of [[Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems|Galileo's ''Dialogo'']] from 1663.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://libguides.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/lmh/rare_books|title=Oxford LibGuides: Lady Margaret Hall Library: Special Collections|first=James|last=Fishwick|website=libguides.bodleian.ox.ac.uk|access-date=25 March 2020}}</ref>

Lynda Grier and Wolfson West were designed by [[Raymond Erith]]. In recent years the Wolfson Quadrangle, in contrast to many [[Oxbridge]] quadrangles, has been planted with wildflowers instead of an intensively managed, striped quadrangle lawn.
