                | Peterson Hall, SPU's Second Oldest Building, 
                    Celebrates Its 100th Birthday in December ON DECEMBER 18, 1905, a new Administration 
                    Building was dedicated at Seattle Seminary, later to become 
                    ºù«ÍÞÊÓÆµ. The building held the library, 
                    the chapel, the principal’s office, classrooms, and 
                    a large assembly hall. In the 1940s, it was renamed Peterson 
                    Hall in honor of Nils B. Peterson, who gave 5 acres of his 
                    homestead to establish the school in the 1890s. Today Peterson Hall houses the Department of Family and Consumer 
                    Sciences and the School of Education, and sits between the 
                    University’s oldest and newest buildings: Alexander 
                    Hall and the new Science Building, built in 2003. “Peterson 
                    is a historical treasure of the University,” says Dean 
                    of the School of Education William Rowley, whose office is 
                    located on the building’s third floor. Back to the topBack to Home
