Mary Reed Hall : ウィキペディア英語版 | Mary Reed Hall
Mary Reed Hall is located on the University of Denver campus in Denver, Colorado south west of University Hall. It was built in 1932 as a new library to replace the Andrew S. Carnegie library. The building, named after Mary D. Reed (Mrs. Verner Z. Reed), was first used in January 1933. When Penrose Library (which is now Anderson Academic Commons) was built in 1972, the building was decommissioned. The Mary Reed Building now houses administrative offices, including those of the chancellor and provost. ==Mary and Verner Reed== Ohio natives, Mary Reed and her husband Verner Reed moved to Colorado in 1893. Verner Reed was very prosperous from mining, ranching, banking and irrigation in Colorado. When he died in April 1919, he left his wife Mary with an estate worth $20 million, equal to nearly $400 million today.〔 Mary Reed used the money acquired from the estate and donated nearly $500,000 to the university to fund and construct a new library. Over the years, Reed added more than $200,000 to her previous contributions, served on the Board of Trustees and received an honorary degree in 1939.〔 Mary Reed died in April 1945.
