McGuffey Hall, University building at Miami University, Oxford, US.

McGuffey Hall features symmetrical wings, classic proportions, red brick walls, and white trim details that define its Georgian architectural style.

Construction began in 1909 as the South Pavilion of Ohio State Normal College, with additional wings completed in 1915, 1916, and 1925.

The building honors William Holmes McGuffey, creator of educational textbooks that shaped American literacy education during the 19th century.

The structure underwent substantial renovations in 1939 for fireproofing, followed by modernization projects in the north wing in 1966 and south wing in 1971.

Architect Frank L. Packard designed McGuffey Hall using mathematical ratios for window placement and room dimensions, following Georgian architectural principles.
