Building
History:
In 1922 construction began on the
current structure, which was planned originally as a three-part structure
housing a high school, an elementary school, and classrooms and offices for the
School of Education. University High
School was completed on schedule and opened in September 1924. University Elementary School was begun in
1929 and completed (in a reduced size) in 1930. But the stock market crash of 1929 ushered in the most severe
economic depression the country had ever faced, and due to a lack of funds the
School of Education section was never constructed. Its proposed site, just north of the existing building, now is
the site of the new School of Social Work Building.
Since the School of Education section
was never built most School of Education offices continued to be housed in nearby
Tappan Hall, the original home of the School of Education. The education classes were held in Tappan
Hall and on the fourth floor of the high school. The School of Education remained in this state until 1968 when
the University School (University High and University Elementary were combined
in 1955 to create the University School) was shut down. In 1969, the building was renovated to
accommodate the School of Education where it has resided ever since.

History:
The President’s House was one of the first four buildings built on the Ann
Arbor campus site. When the University
of Michigan moved to its current location of Ann Arbor in 1837, the only
existing buildings were those belonging to the former occupants of the area.
These structures were torn down and the Board of Regents authorized a plan for
the first four buildings that were to be constructed on the new site. The construction of these buildings began in
1839 and they were apparently completed in the summer of 1840. These buildings were built exclusively for
the use of the University Professors.
The President’s House has been the home to a variety of notable
Michiganders since its 1840 construction.
Dwellers from 1840 to 1870 include Presidents Tappan, Haven and Angell,
and Governor Alpheus Felch. The
building has served as the home of most University Presidents, with the only
exception being Harry Hutchins who was president from 1909 to 1920. The building continues to serve as the
official home of the President to this day and the first and second stories of
the central section constitute the oldest structure still standing on the
University of Michigan, Ann Arbor campus.

house has seen numerous physical alterations over the years.
