General Info

Doane Administration was built in 1895 and is now home to Denison University's administrative offices. The building was built by funds donated by William Howard Doane. A composer of thousands of church hymns and editor of the Baptist Hymnal, Doane also invented more than 100 devices for woodworking machinery and was a trustee of Denison from 1874 until 1915. He also presented Denison with two additional buildings and his daughters with three more.
