President’s House Today |
The president’s house was one of the
original four faculty houses located on the main campus. Located on South University Avenue., it is
the only one standing.[3].
Built in 1840, the white, stucco, three story
home housed the first University of Michigan President, Henry Tappan. It has housed all the presidents except Harry
B. Hutchins. A third story addition
was added by President Haven along with an expanded kitchen, garage, study,
and library added by later Presidents. [3]
Today, the central portion of the house is the oldest standing
structure at U of M. |
