Merrill Hall was acquired in the Milwaukee-Downer College campus purchase. It was named for William P. Merrill (1817-1898), and his wife, Elizabeth. A pioneer Milwaukee industrialist, Merrill contributed $10,000 for Merrill Memorial Chapel, a north wing of the building, in memory of his wife.
Merrill Hall was designated as a landmark building in 1973. It has been occupied by the Communication Department since 1964. Renovations began in 1980 and the building was reopened in 1982. |
