Haven Hall, situated at the northwest corner of campus , was destroyed by fire on June 6, 1950. Built in 1863 to house the Law Department, in 1950 it was home to the History, Journalism and Sociology Departments and the Bureau of Government. The fire raged out of control for three hours as a crowd of 15,000 watched. Damages were estimated at $3,000,000 including many irreplaceable items in the Bureau of Government Library. The new wing of Angell Hall completed in 1952 reused the name Haven Hall.
