Bailey Hall, University building at University of Kansas, US
Bailey Hall stands as a three-story Richardsonian Romanesque structure built with robust stonework and rounded arches at the University of Kansas.
Constructed in 1900 by architect John G. Haskell, Bailey Hall initially served as the Chemistry Department before being listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.
The building received its name in 1935 to honor Professor E.H.S. Bailey, who created the Rock Chalk Jayhawk chant during his fifty-year tenure at the university.
The building currently houses several academic departments, including Communication Studies and the Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies.
Professors Hamilton P. Cady and David F. McFarland made a scientific breakthrough in 1905 when they discovered helium in natural gas within Bailey Hall's laboratories.
