Tyson Alumni Center
UT purchased Tyson House in 1954 from St. John's Episcopal Church. It was once home to the family of General Lawrence D. Tyson, a UT professor and US senator. In 1908, the Tysons had the current home built on the foundation of a home they had purchased in 1895. The Colonial Classic home is yellow brick with Corinthian columns, terraces, a ballroom, and a porte cochere. The Tyson's daughter donated the house to St. John's in 1934 for use as a student center. It is now the Tyson Alumni Center.
