| Built in 1882 by Moses Hooper, an Oshkosh attorney,
the Oviatt House is also on the National Registry of Historic
Homes. After the death of its second owner, physician and surgeon
C.W. Oviatt in 1912, the gray stone house was purchased by the
Oshkosh Normal School for use as a women's dormitory. During
the Great Depression it became the school's president's home.
Since 1990 it has housed the UW-Oshkosh
Foundation. The Foundation coordinates all Fund Raising
efforts for the campus along with overseeing the distribution
of school scholarships. |
