Bailey Hall at the University of Kansas in Lawrence was constructed in 1905 as the Chemistry Building in the Richardsonian Romanesque style. Designed by architect John G. Haskell, who also worked on the Kansas State Capitol, the building exemplifies the robust masonry aesthetic characteristic of its architectural tradition. Originally dedicated to chemical instruction, Bailey Hall was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001 and is recognized as a contributing property to the university's historic fabric. Today it houses the Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies—one of only eleven National Resource Centers in the United States devoted to this region—as well as the departments of Communication Studies and Religious Studies.
