Home of Alfred G. and Matilda Dodge Wilson (widow of John Dodge), this Tudor-style mansion was built 1926-29. William E. Kapp of Smith, Hinchman and 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.
