Durant Hall
Durant Hall is a historical building in Berkeley, California. The Durant Hall was built in 1911. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 25, 1982. When built, the Durant Hall, was the Boalt Memorial Hall of Law. In 1951, Durant Hall is renamed after the first president of the University of California Berkeley, Henry Durant (1802-1875), president from 1870 to 1872. The four-story Durant Hall was designed by architect John Galen Howard (1864-1931). The 17,000 sq foot Durant Hall was recently converted from the East Asian Library and Oriental Languages to the deans and administration for the College of Letters and Science. [2][3] Boalt Hall was named after Judge John H. Boalt (1837–1901) as a memorial to him. His wife, Mrs. Elizabeth J. Boalt gave $100,000 for the memorial building. A group of California lawyers gave $50,000. [4]
