Garland Hall was acquired in the Milwaukee Downer Seminary campus purchase. During its Seminary days the building was called Vogel Hall for Louise Pfister Vogel (see Vogel Hall entry), and housed the Seminary dormitory, dining room, and study hall.
UWM renamed the building for Hamlin Garland (1860-1940), who was born in West Salem, Wisconsin. His autobiographical narratives, A Son of the Middle Border and Pulitzer Prize-winning A Daughter of the Middle Border, are American classics.
The English Department occupied Garland Hall in 1961 after Garland and adjoining Pearse and Vogel Halls were remodeled. Some departments of the School of Education also had offices in Garland until their move to Enderis Hall in 1972. Garland Hall now houses the Psychology Department, Center for International Studies, Center for Latin America, and the Honors Program of the College of Letters and Science. |
