North Hall was the University of Wisconsin–Madison's first building. Built in 1851 in the woods and brush that would become Bascom Hill, this one building was the UW for its first four years, housing both dorm rooms and lecture halls. John Muir resided in North Hall when he was a student at the university from 1860 to 1863.
In 1965 North Hall was listed as a National Historic Landmark. It currently houses the offices of the political science faculty at the university.
