This is a building built to honor Mr. Appenzeller, the founder of Pai Chai School. It was built with funds donated by the city of Pittsfield, MA, U.S.A. The construction work began in 1921 under the supervision of Professor Miller of the college’s Chemistry Department, and was completed in 1924. Built together with the Underwood Hall, this 3-story stone building was the second one opened in Yonsei University. It has an entrance hall and stairs in the center on a square plan. The remaining space was used as classrooms, but is now used as the administration hall. It is a really elegant building in the Gothic style.
