Home of Alfred G. and Matilda Dodge Wilson (widow of John Dodge), this Tudor-style mansion was built 1926-1929. William E. Kapp of Smith, Hinchman & Grylls designed the hall, incorporating details from famous homes of England. Mr. and Mrs. Wilson deeded the hall and its fourteen hundred acre estate to Michigan State University in 1957 to found what is now Oakland University. The hall opened to the public in September 1971 as a conference and cultural center of the university.
