  • Description
  • Thaw Hall was constructed in 1909 and dedicated on June 15, 1910. The building is named for Benjamin Thaw Sr. who donated a substantial amount of money for the building. This building along with the Mineral Industries Building, State Hall, and Pennsylvania Hall was one of the few buildings built as part of the "Acropolis Plan" designed by Palmer and Hornbostel for the campus buildings. The buildings would have sat on the hill between Bigelow and where the medical complex is now, and would have all been based upon classical Greek Design and architecture. However after the construction of these limited buildings the University decided to move in another direction with the rest of the campus buildings.
