Jubilee Hall on the campus of Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee, was the university's first permanent building, completed in 1876.[3] Funds to build Jubilee Hall were raised by the Fisk Jubilee Singers in their first European singing tour in 1873. [4][5]
The building houses a floor-to-ceiling portrait of the original Jubilee Singers that was given to the university by Queen Victoria during the 1873 tour.[4]
Jubilee Hall was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1974.[2][6]
