History
The original Longyear Hall, named for prominent Marquette real estate developer and early Northern Michigan Normal School patron John Munroe Longyear, was constructed in 1900,[5] the year after Northern was founded.[3] This building burned down in 1905. A second Longyear Building, a reconstruction of the original, was built in 1907, based on a design by Battle Creek architect E. W. Arnold.[5] Longyear Hall was used to house administration offices, classrooms, and the library.[4]
In 1915,[3] Kaye Hall was built, which connected Longyear Hall with the nearby Peter White Science Hall (1902)[6] to form a three-building complex.[5] An addition to the Longyear Hall, housing athletic facilities, was built in 1933.[4] In 1972, Kaye Hall and the Peter White Science Hall were demolished.[6] Longyear Hall was abandoned in 1975 when administrative offices were moved, and the structure was never used again.[4] Despite being listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980,[1] Longyear Hall was torn down in 1993.[4]
Description
The Longyear Hall of Pedagogy was a rectangular two-and-one-half-story structure built with a steel frame sheathed with local Marquette brownstone, with a hipped roof and gabled dormers.[5] The front entrance was topped by a bank of three rectangular windows and flanked by two-story bay windows.[5] A stone beltcourse ran between the first and second stories, and a dentil cornice edged the top of the structure.[5]
