About this place
on a university campus in Nashville, Tennessee, a building completed in 1876
Jubilee Hall is the oldest academic building on the campus of Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee, United States. Completed in 1876, it was the university's first permanent building, and is a good local example of Gothic Revival architecture. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1974, in recognition of the university's place as one of the first historically black colleges and universities to be established after the American Civil War. It presently serves as an undergraduate residence hall. In 2017 the Tennessee Historical Commission installed a marker honoring the Fisk Jubilee Singers, whose 1870s European tour raised the funds to pay for the building's construction.
