 Alice B. Cowles House

If the Cowles House walls could talk, they would certainly have some Spartan sagas to share. Constructed in 1857, Alice B. Cowles House is considered the oldest standing building on campus. It was one of several homes built for MSU’s earliest administrators and faculty in an area that became known as Faculty Row.

The building served a number of residential and other uses through the years until John A. Hannah occupied it upon assuming the college’s presidency in 1941. Its 1949-50 renovation occurred during his tenure when Alice B. Cowles House took on its current name in honor of the project benefactor’s mother.
