Murphree Hall is a historic student residence building located in the Murphree Area on the northern edge of the University of Florida campus in Gainesville, Florida.[1] It was designed by architect Rudolph Weaver in the Collegiate Gothic style and completed in 1939.[2] The building was named for Albert A. Murphree, the university's second president, who served from 1909 to 1927.[3] Major renovations, which included adding air conditioning, were completed in 2005, and the hall was rededicated and open for that fall semester.[4]

Murphree Hall is a contributing property in the University of Florida Campus Historic District which was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 20, 1989.[2]
