Tappan Hall Today

 

            Completed in 1894, Tappan Hall is one of the oldest buildings left standing on the original forty acres of the U of M campus.[96]  This building is a relatively simple structure, two stories high with a basement.  It is an all red brick building entered through an archway facing the west.  The total cost for its construction was $49,199.20, and was named in honor of past President Henry Tappan.  It was designed by Spiers and Rohn of Detroit.[96]

            The building has served many uses for departments mostly within the Literature, Sciences, and the Arts.  In 1984, an addition was added to the south end of the building.  Today Tappan Hall is home to the History of Art Department. [2]
