Altgeld Hall, Gothic Revival university building in Urbana, United States.

Altgeld Hall features fifteen bells in its tower, a mathematics library with a domed ceiling, and distinct Richardsonian Romanesque architectural elements across its structure.

The building, completed in 1897 under architects Nathan Ricker and James White, initially served as the University Library before becoming home to the College of Law in 1927.

Four murals painted on the Mathematics Library ceiling represent the original academic colleges of the University of Illinois during the late nineteenth century.

The Department of Mathematics occupies the building, while the Altgeld Chimes perform daily concerts from 12:50 to 1:00 PM during weekdays.

The structure contains the only gargoyle on the University of Illinois campus and maintains its original architectural character from the 1890s construction period.
