Old Law Building, Later Haven Hall

An 1898 addition completely altered the exterior (Spier & Rohns, architect). The tower was removed and a new south wing added. Regents met in south wing until 1933. When Law moved to Hutchins Hall in 1933, building was renamed Haven Hall in honor of Erastus O. Haven, president 1863-1869. Haven Hall became an LS&A building until it was destroyed by fire June 6, 1950. Crowd of people in image.
