Demosthenian Hall – UGA 21 (1834, Category 2). The Demosthenian Literary Society was founded in 1803, and Demosthenian Hall was constructed in 1834 to house the group’s meetings and debates. The building was designed in the Federal style, and features a Palladian window over the entrance. In 1979–1981, the Demosthenian Society restored the lower floor of the building. The building has painted stucco exterior walls. The two-story building retains its original wood entrance vestibule and double-hung windows, and features wood shutters that may be original as well. The upper floor has been little altered since original construction and retains a high degree of integrity. Demosthenian Hall is a contributing building of the Old North Campus Historic District and is one of the most important historic buildings on campus. It is assessed as a Category 2 resource.
