Anderson Hall, built in 1870, is the oldest building on the campus of Maryville College in Maryville, Tennessee, and was named for the college's founder, Isaac L. Anderson. Designed by architect Benjamin Fahnestock in the Second Empire style, the brick structure was funded through contributions from the Freedmen's Bureau, Pittsburgh businessman William Thaw, and John C. Baldwin of New York. Originally serving as the college's sole building, Anderson Hall now functions as a classroom building. The structure's distinctive bell tower is featured in Maryville College's logo. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975 and underwent extensive renovations beginning in 2008.
