Buell Hall

Buell Hall, known at one time as Alumni House, is the only building that dates back to Columbia's predecessor on the site, the Bloomingdale Insane Asylum. It used to be the warden's cottage. Buell is better known as "Maison Française" as the French cultural house is the primary occupant of the building, though it shares the building with gallery space for GSAPP and GSAPP's Temple Hoyne Buell Center for the Study of American Architecture, which strangely has its office in Avery anyway.

Until 1964, Buell Hall housed the School of General Studies.
