In the 1960s, Derryberry Hall contained administrative offices, an auditorium, classrooms, and facilities for the Music Department. The original building was erected in 1912; in 1921 an auditorium and the east and west wings were added; in 1960 the building was completely rebuilt, doubled in size, fireproofed, and modernized. In 1962, by action of the State Board of Education, the building was given the Derryberry family name, honoring Everett Derryberry, President of Tennessee Technological University since 1940, and his wife, Joan Derryberry, active throughout these years in the development of the Department of Music.
