context_page_description: Adonijah Strong Welch was a United States Senator from Florida and the first president of Iowa State Agricultural College. Welch also served as Michigan State Normal School's first principal.
context_section_description: Welch Hall, named after him, was constructed in 1895 at Michigan State Normal School (now Eastern Michigan University). Welch Hall is the second-oldest building on the EMU campus. The building is designed in the Georgian Revival style. 
  The building's original name was the "Training School"; it served as the Teacher Training School from 1896 to the 1960s. During the building's lifetime, Welch has served as classroom space and various department offices. Due to poor maintenance, the building was closed during the 1980s and almost demolished. In 1984, Welch Hall was added to the National Register of Historic Places. Today, Welch Hall has been restored. It houses EMU's executive offices, which include the Office of the President.
