Haydn Hall houses the Music department and the music library. Originally a combination of dormitory and classroom building, Haydn Hall was given to the college by Flora Stone Mather. It was named in honor of Hiram Collins Haydn, fifth president of Western Reserve University, pastor of the Old Stone Church, and the individual most active in convincing Western Reserve College to move to Cleveland. The building was designed by Charles F. Schweinfurth, the premier residential architect of Euclid Avenue ("Millionaires' Row") mansions, who also rebuilt the interior of the Old Stone Church in 1884 and designed Trinity Cathedral, the Union Club, and four bridges in Rockefeller Park. Haydn Hall served for many years as the only student center on the campus and has always been a center for commuters' activities.
