4. Haydn Hall
Haydn Hall houses the Music
department and the Kulas
Music Library. Originally a combination of dormitory and
classroom building, Haydn Hall was given to the college by
Flora Stone Mather. It was named in honor of Hiram
Collins Haydn, fifth president of Western Reserve University,
pastor of the Old Stone Church, and the individual most active
in convincing Western Reserve College to move to Cleveland.
The building was designed by Charles F. Schweinfurth, the premier
residential architect of Euclid Avenue ("Millionaires' Row")
mansions, who also rebuilt the interior of the Old Stone Church
in 1884 and designed Trinity Cathedral, the Union Club, and
four bridges in Rockefeller Park. Haydn Hall served for many
years as the only student center on the campus and has always
been a center for commuters' activities.
