History:
Mosher-Jordan Hall was completed in 1930 at a cost of
$800,000. Since Mosher-Jordan was constructed as an all-female residence
hall, the landladies of Ann Arbor heatedly protested because they felt
their rooms would go empty - their fears were never realized. The
residence hall was named after the first two Dean of Women at U-M: Eliza
M. Mosher, and Myra B. Jordan. Mosher-Jordan remained all-female
until 1968, when it became co-educational.
