Milledge Hall – UGA 271 (1921, 1938; Category 2). Milledge Hall is located at the east end of the Memorial Hall Quadrangle and was constructed in 1925, the same year that Memorial Hall was completed. The building was named for Governor John Milledge who helped select the site of the university and donated the initial tract of 633 acres for the school.
The structure was a gift of Clarke County from the post-World War I Memorial Fund, and built as a residence hall for men. (Bowen states that Milledge housed thirty-eight female students in twenty-two rooms.)324 Wings were added to the building in 1938 as a PWA project.325 The building has been adapted for use by the Division of Academic Enhancement providing learning support services to students.
Milledge Hall is a handsome and well-built three-story brick Colonial Revival structure with limestone trim. The building is composed of a formal central mass, recessed hyphens to each side, and pavilions at each end with their gable fronts facing the quadrangle. The end wings extend to the east and create a courtyard at the rear of the building. Windows on the first floor are larger than those of upper floors and some are emphasized by placement in stuccoed openings. The building has a residential appearance typical of University dormitories.
Original windows have been installed with metal replacement with internal applied muntins, not a preferred treatment. Otherwise, the building retains integrity and appears to contribute to a National Register-eligible historic district. It is assessed as a Category 2 resource.
