Holton Hall was acquired in the Milwaukee-Downer College campus purchase. It was named for Edward D. Holton (1815-1902), a member of the board of trustees of Milwaukee College, pioneer railroad builder, banker, insurance executive, and anti-slavery leader. He donated $37,500 to Milwaukee College in 1892. Holton Hall was used as a dormitory by Milwaukee-Downer College and by UWM until the summer of 1970, when Sandburg Halls opened. It was occupied by the School of Architecture and Urban Planning and the Center for Advanced Study in Organization Science until 1973, when Architecture moved to Engelmann Hall and the Center was discontinued. Holton Hall is now the home of the College of Letters and Science and the Department of History. |
