Formerly known as Eustace Hall,Eustace-Cole Hall located onLaboratory Row is the only building onMichigan State University's main campus inEast Lansing, Michigan that is on theNational Register of Historic Places. Designed in a mix of "Queen Anne massing,Richardsonian Romanesque features, andShingle Style",[3] it was built in 1888 as theHorticultural Laboratory Building.
