Noyes Hall was a red-brick building in the Georgian Revival style, designed in 1922 by the St. Louis architectural firm Jamieson and Spearl and constructed the following year. Located at 408 South Sixth Street, just north of Francis Quadrangle, it occupied a prominent place within Mizzou’s historic campus core. The building was named for Guy Lincoln Noyes, a professor of eye and ear diseases who also served as superintendent of Parker Memorial Hospital and dean of the School of Medicine. Noyes Hall was included in the Francis Quadrangle Historic District listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. Originally known as Noyes Hospital, it later served other university purposes before its demolition in 2022.
- The building served as a hospital facility, supplementing Parker Hall in treating patients, including in the years following World War I.
- In 1951, it underwent significant renovations, including a roof expansion to create additional interior space.
- As the university’s needs evolved, former hospital spaces were adapted for other uses, reflecting the changing demands placed on campus buildings over time.
