Morrill Hall, University building at University of Nevada, Reno, United States
Morrill Hall features a mansard roof, full dormer windows, and three floors plus basement in Renaissance Revival architectural style at the University of Nevada campus.
Built in 1885 for $13,500, Morrill Hall became the first structure of the University of Nevada when it moved from Elko to Reno.
The building bears the name of Senator Justin Smith Morrill, who authored the 1862 Land-Grant Colleges Act that established the University of Nevada.
The University Advancement department now operates from Morrill Hall, which received extensive renovations during the 1970s to maintain its functionality.
The basement originally contained assay furnaces and quartz crushers, reflecting Nevada's mining heritage in the late 19th century.
