Johnston Hall was acquired in the Milwaukee-Downer College campus purchase. It was called "College Hall" until 1904, when it was renamed for John T. Johnston, a member of the Milwaukee College and the Milwaukee-Downer College Board of Trustees, and the Board's president from 1893 to 1897, and 1902 to 1904. Johnston, successor to Alexander Mitchell as head of the Marine Bank, was a major civic and business leader at the turn of the century.
Johnston Hall was used as a dormitory until the summer of 1970, when Sandburg Halls opened. The School of Social Welfare then used Johnston Hall until the summer of 1972, when the School moved to Enderis Hall. Johnston Hall was closed from 1980 to 1982 for remodeling. The Mass Communication Department is housed in Johnston Hall. |
