Sherman Hall – Western Illinois University
Sherman Hall is the main administrative building of Western Illinois University and site of the original Western Illinois State Normal School in Macomb, Illinois.
Designed by Illinois architect Robert Watson, Sherman Hall is a three-story, mixed classical revival-style building. Construction on Sherman Hall began on
December 21, 1900 at the cost of $302,950.
Sherman Hall opened to the public in 1902 as the main building of Western Illinois State Normal School.
Sherman Hall was the school’s only building until Garwood Hall was built in 1914. At the turn of the20th century,
the hall contained classrooms, an auditorium, a gymnasium, a library, laboratories and administrative offices.
The building was referred to as the “Main Building” until it was renamed in honor of Lawrence Sherman, an influential
Macomb lawyer and speaker of the Illinois House of Representatives, in 1956.
