Butler Hall is one of three buildings that were incorporated into the campus when NYU arrived in the 1890s. It was built in 1859 and was originally the William Henry W.T. Mali residence. Henri H.T. Mali served as the Consul-General of Belgium following the Civil War. As such, he purchased land overlooking the Harlem River and built a mansion on it that is now located just south of the Hall of Fame on the campus of Bronx Community College in University Heights. He was a good and friendly neighbor to those wealthy families who lived in similar mansions nearby, joining in their parties and outings.
