Description
Welch Hall on the Eastern Michigan University campus in Ypsilanti, Michigan. Built in 1895, Welch Hall was the first building on campus designated for classroom training. The building had rooms for K-8th grades, where Michigan State Normal College students could practice being teachers for young students. Andrew Nazarro, professor of historic preservation, led the effort to save the historic building in the 1980's when it was deemed the building upkeep was too costly and it was to be torn down. The building now houses university executive offices. Welch Hall was constructed in the Georgian Revival style and has a projecting portico over the main entrance that is supported by ionic columns.
