Old Main, Suomi College

Old Main, Suomi College is a four-story sandstone educational building located at 603 Quincy Street on what was formerly the Finlandia University campus in Hancock, Michigan. It opened on January 21, 1900, and housed the Suomi Opisto (Finnish College). It is now known as Old Main Inn or OMI.

Old Main was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1959 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.

After the university closed in 2023, the venue was sold to a private owner who has restored the mixed use venue for a bed and breakfast and wedding and event center featuring an artist collective and gallery.
