Stockwell Hall

Stockwell Hall is a collegiate gothic residence situated on the University of Michigan campus. The building houses around 400 students with modernized rooms and shared community spaces designed for student life.

The building opened in 1940 as a women-only dormitory during the university's period of growth. A major renovation in 2009 upgraded its facilities and living spaces for contemporary student needs.

The residence honors Madelon Louisa Stockwell, who became the first woman enrolled at the University of Michigan. Her name marks a turning point in the story of women's education at the institution.

The residence sits on Observatory Street near the main dining facility serving this section of campus. Its central location makes it convenient for students to access classrooms and other campus facilities throughout the day.

Actress Selma Blair lived here during her university years before going on to film and television careers. Another notable former resident was Ann B Davis, who became recognized for a major television role in the 1960s.
