Pearse Hall was acquired in the Milwaukee-Downer Seminary campus purchase. It was named by UWM for Carroll G. Pearse (1858-1948), president of the Milwaukee Normal School from 1913 to 1923. The building was originally named Chapman Hall in memory of Mr. and Mrs. T.A. Chapman, and provided classrooms, offices, a gymnasium and a lecture hall for the Seminary.
After minor remodeling of Pearse, Garland, and Vogel Halls, the School of Education moved into the completed building in 1961 and remained there until moving to Enderis Hall in 1972. The School of Allied Health Professions occupied Pearse Hall until 1983 when it was closed along with Garland Hall for a major remodeling. Pearse Hall was reopened in 1985 and is occupied by the Psychology Department. |
