It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.[1]

Influence

The architect for Gridley Building, Horatio Nelson White, also designed the Hall of Languages in 1870 with the very similar style.[6] It was the first building on Syracuse University campus, and is often prominently displayed as a representation of the University in many forums.[7][8]
