Tauy Jones Hall is the oldest surviving building on the Ottawa University campus at 10th and Cedar Streets in Ottawa, Kansas and has a copper roofed cupola at its peak. The building was named after John Tecumseh “Tauy” Jones, who was of half Chippewa heritage and served as an interpreter for the Pottawatomie.[2]

Emerson & Plank began construction of the building in 1866 under President Isaac Smith Kalloch.[3] Construction was completed in 1869. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 14, 1982. [4] Tauy Jones Hall is currently home to "the Chancellor's Office, Human Resources Department, Finance Department, Marketing Department, and the Office of University Advancement."[5]
