W.Facade (March 1999) |
| The
arch of Peabody Hall's entrance bears the words, "George Peabody Hall for
the Teachers College." Funded by the Peabody Foundation, this building
opened in 1913 as the home of predecessor of UF's College of Education
now located in the Norman Hall complex. It was designed
in Collegiate
Gothic style by architect William
A. Edwards. In 1990 Peabody was renovated and skillfully linked
to the neighboring Criser Hall designed by VOA Associates. Criser-Peabody
now house the Registrar's Office and other student services. A statue
of UF's second president, Albert A. Murphree, is the focal point of a
courtyard framed by Smathers Library, Criser Hall, and Peabody Hall.
Peabody Hall was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. It is a part of the University of Florida Campus Historic District, a collection of buildings added to the National Register as an historic district in 1989. |
