Betsy Barbour House

It shares resources with its next-door sister hall Helen Newberry House, which contains the exercise/dance room, kitchen, and computing site.

Betsy Barbour Dormitory was Designed by World Renown architect Albert Kahn in 1917.

The main entry was altered in 1930 and a passageway connecting Betsy Barbour to Helen Newberry was designed in 1933.

One of his sponsored students from Japan, Kikuchi Matsu, had died of tuberculosis as a result of inadequate living conditions at UM, and this prompted his decision to help construct new housing.
