Stetson University Campus Historic District, National Register historic district at Stetson University, DeLand, Florida.

The Stetson University Campus Historic District in DeLand, Florida, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 14, 1991, and holds 10 historic buildings and one historic structure. Its signature building, Elizabeth Hall, is a three-story patterned-brick structure with a four-story central pavilion topped by a white cupola. The south wing contains a 786-seat chapel with a German-made Beckerath organ of 2,700 pipes.

John B. Stetson, a Philadelphia hat manufacturer, funded Elizabeth Hall, the first major building he built on campus; it is named for his wife. The 1892 central portion and two 1897 wings cost $125,000, more than all other Florida higher education buildings to that date. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 14, 1991.

The chapel in Elizabeth Hall is named for John B. Stetson's son Ben, who died at age six. Its 786-seat hall holds a German-made Beckerath organ with 2,700 pipes, framed by stained glass windows. The space serves as Stetson's main concert hall, hosting about 100 School of Music concerts each year and lectures by figures such as Robert Frost and Desmond Tutu.

The district is bounded by Michigan Avenue, North Florida Avenue, West University Avenue and a line south from North Hayden Avenue, with ten historic buildings and one structure inside. Elizabeth Hall's 786-seat chapel is the main concert hall, hosting about 100 School of Music concerts a year, so check the university calendar before visiting. The chapel also serves as a lecture venue.

Elizabeth Hall's tower held the campus water tank before city water arrived; in 1915 the Eloise bell chimes replaced it, and they were moved again in 1934. The building was also the first on campus wired for electricity during construction.
