McCormick Hall was built in 1922 with funds given to the University by Cyrus H. McCormick 1879 and his family; they also gave an addition in 1927. The building was designed by Ralph Adams Cram in a medieval Italian style to harmonize with the varied architecture of its neighbors (Whig, Murray-Dodge, Dod, and Brown). It was used by the School of Architecture as well as by the Department of Art and Archaeology until 1963, when the School was given its own separate building.
In 1965, with funds provided by the $53 million campaign, McCormick was enlarged and its interior completely modernized at the same time that the adjoining Art Museum was erected. More adequate provision was thus made for the offices, classrooms, and lecture halls of the Department of Art and Archaeology, the Marquand Library, and the Index of Christian Art.
Designed by Steinmann and Cain, the extensive additions were built of brownstone to conform with the older structure and done in a contemporary style to harmonize with the new museum.
