context_page_description: The Longyear Hall of Pedagogy was an academic building located on Presque Isle Avenue, on the campus of Northern Michigan University in Marquette, Michigan. It was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1972 as part of the Kaye Hall Complex, and individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, but was demolished in 1993.
context_section_description: The original Longyear Hall, named for prominent Marquette real estate developer and early Northern Michigan Normal School patron John Munroe Longyear, was constructed in 1900, the year after Northern was founded.  This building burned down in 1905.  A second Longyear Building, a reconstruction of the original, was built in 1907, based on a design by Battle Creek architect E. W. Arnold.  Longyear Hall was used to house administration offices, classrooms, and the library.
  In 1915, Kaye Hall was built, which connected Longyear Hall with the nearby Peter White Science Hall (1902) to form a three-building complex.  An addition to the Longyear Hall, housing athletic facilities, was built in 1933.  In 1972, Kaye Hall and the Peter White Science Hall were demolished.  Longyear Hall was abandoned in 1975 when administrative offices were moved, and the structure was never used again.  Despite being listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, Longyear Hall was torn down in 1993.
