History edit
The building was originally built in 1916 as the Agriculture and Manual Arts Building as part of the Platteville State Normal School. The hall contained a forge room, a farm carpentry room, a dairy lab, a stock judging room, a gym, etc. The specialized training it allowed was a milestone in the state normal school system. Now known as Ullrich Hall, it is the oldest remaining academic building of what is now the University of Wisconsin-Platteville.[2][3]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985 and on the State Register of Historic Places in 1989.
