Taylor-Murphy (orginally constructed as the Fine Arts Building)
The building now known as Taylor-Murphy stands on the site of the former Music Hall. That 2-story building -- a former boarding house -- was moved out of the way so construction on the new Fine Arts Building could begin. When completed in 1951, the Fine Arts Building held both the Music and the Art departments.
When those departments outgrew the space, spaces were shifted and the building became the home of the History Department and it was named for two outstanding History faculty.
