Betsy Barbour House, Female residence hall at University of Michigan, United States
The Betsy Barbour House features traditional architectural elements designed by Albert Kahn, with multiple lounges and kitchenettes across its floors.
Levi Barbour funded this residence hall in 1920 after a Japanese student died from tuberculosis due to substandard housing conditions.
The residence maintains its original furnishings from the Barbour family home, including Betsy Barbour's rocking chair in the first-floor reception room.
Located at 420 South State Street, the residence hall accommodates 83 students and connects directly to Helen Newberry House through a dedicated passageway.
The building originated from Levi Barbour's commitment to international education, leading to the establishment of the Barbour Scholarship for Asian women.
