second professor's home built on campus was first occupied by mathematics Professor George
W. Jones. Edgar W. Stanton lived with Jones's family while they lived in the house, and
from 1879 to Stanton's death in 1920 the home was known as the Stanton House. The house
was remodeled and enlarged in 1899. After her husband's death, Mrs. Stanton continued to
live in the house, and when she started a tea room in 1922, the home became known as
"The Maples." Mrs. Stanton moved out in 1924, and the Home Economics Department
continued the operation of the tea room. The east (front) porch was enclosed and the
kitchen enlarged in 1926. The tearoom closed in 1928 with the opening of the Memorial Union and the Music Department moved in. The name
"Music Hall" became official in 1929. The house was torn down in 1978 for the
new music building that was constructed on the site. |
