History:
Fletcher Hall was built by a group of alumni known as
the Dormitories Corporation. The original purpose of the residence
hall was to offer low-cost housing for male students. Unfortunately,
the facility was unable to survive and for $13,000, U-M purchased Fletcher
Hall along with its back taxes and expenses for receivership. Since
1933, the University has remodeled the inside of Fletcher Hall several
time - including changing the rooms from doubles to singles and eventually
into triple suites. Fletcher Hall now houses co-educational, upper
class-level students.
