University Hall, constructed between 1865 and 1866 on the Lincoln College campus in Lincoln, Illinois, was the first building erected for the institution when it was known as Lincoln University. Founded by the Cumberland Presbyterian Church as one of the few religiously affiliated schools in the North at the time, the college commissioned this Renaissance Revival structure in a Tuscan-influenced Italianate style. The building is distinguished by a four-sided cupola and decorative cornice featuring dentils and corbels. Originally housing the college's administrative offices throughout its operational history, University Hall was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. Following the college's closure in May 2022, the building now contains the liquidation office.
