Buell Hall, on the Morningside Heights campus of Columbia University, southeast of the Low Memorial Library, was built in 1885 and was designed by Ralph Townsend. It is the only building on campus which dates back to the Bloomingdale Insane Asylum which preceded Columbia. The building, whose street address was 515 West 116th Street, is the location of Temple Hoyne Center for the Study of American Architecture, the Arthur Ross Architecture Gallery and Columbia's Headquarters for Japanese Architectural Studies and Advanced Research. It is commonly known as "La Maison Francais"; previously it was "Macy Villa", when it was part of the asylum, and College Hall, Alumni House and East Hall as part of Columbia.
