Peabody Hall (Miami University, Ohio)
Peabody Hall is located on 701 Western College Drive on the campus of Miami University located in Oxford, Ohio. Peabody Hall was built in 1871 and it is a gross square footage of 83,881. The Miami University Buildings Information link describes Peabody Hall as being "Named for Helen Peabody, the first principal and teacher of the Western Seminary, 1855 to 1888.” Ms. Peabody was a graduate of Mount Holyoke for which Western College for Women was created after. The original building was built in 1855 and it was destroyed by fire in 1860. Then, a new building opened up on the same site in 1861. In 1871 it again was damaged by a fire but was rebuilt the same year. In 1905, the building was officially named Peabody Hall. It is an academic/administrative building as well as a residence hall.
==History==
Peabody Hall is located on Western College of Miami’s campus. Western College was founded in 1853 and it modeled the Mt. Holyoke of Massachusetts “system” with its low cost yet high-quality education for women. Helen Peabody, whom Peabody hall is named after, was principal of the Western Female Seminary when it opened for classes on September 20 of 1855. In 1904 Western went from being named A College and Seminary for Women to “The Western College for Women.” From the Western College Memorial Archives website, it states that “For the next fifty years, Western remained a general liberal arts college, primarily under the presidency of William W. Boyd. With the arrival of President Herrick B. Young in 1954, an international focus began. Many international students and faculty were recruited, international travel seminars were instituted, and a global emphasis was added to the curriculum.” Another major decision for the college came in 1971 was men were admitted to Western college as well. Due to financial difficulties, Western College closed in 1974 and the physical facilities merged with Miami University, thus where it stands today. In this year of the Miami University-Western College merger, Peabody was remodeled.
Peabody Hall burnt down in 1861, was rebuilt, then burnt down once again in 1871, and was once again rebuilt. From an unknown source and author, but obtained from the Western College Memorial Archives is a declaration for “Present Properties Needing Change or Improvement.” One of the buildings that addressed a plea to improve the buildings safety was Peabody. The short document quotes, “It is a large dignified structure of high ceilings and wide halls, with an atmosphere which it is desirable to preserve. However, it is not a fireproof building; students are forced to climb its high flights of stairs several times a day—a situation not often conducive to the physical well-being of all young women. And so even though parts of the building can continue, with alteration, to serve admirably for administrative and academic purposes, it is no longer suitable for dormitory use. The elimination of the housing use of Peabody Hall will necessitate the erection of new dormitory facilities.”
