Warren House

By Newcomb College Institute & Lauren Dean

The construction of Doris Hall was followed in 1928 by the construction of a larger dormitory, Warren Newcomb House.

Warren House is named for the husband of Josephine Louise, and in 1952, an additional wing was successfully added, expanding the dorm to house around 178 students, most of whom were sophomores and juniors.

Warren is presently a coed dorm for sophomores and juniors, and is also home to a handful of freshmen males.

To continue the walking tour, please proceed to Dixon Hall, campus building numbers 68-70.
