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.Sources & record detailsWikipedia text is available under CC BY-SA 4.0; see the article for contributors and any additional terms.
