Tauy Jones Hall, completed in 1869 at Ottawa University in Kansas, is the oldest surviving building on campus and stands at the corner of 10th and Cedar Streets. Built in Italianate style with stone construction by contractors Emerson & Plank under President Isaac Smith Kalloch, the structure features a distinctive copper-roofed cupola. The building was named after John Tecumseh "Tauy" Jones, a half-Chippewa interpreter for the Pottawatomie. Recognized for its historical significance, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 and remains listed on the Register of Historic Kansas Places. Today the hall houses administrative offices including the Chancellor's Office, Human Resources, Finance, Marketing, and University Advancement.
