Kerr Hall/Student's House MA9 |
|
|
At the turn of the century when few colleges in Boston had living facilities for women students, progressive women's groups organized housing cooperatives to provide safe and inexpensive housing. In 1902 women from Emmanuel Church in the Back Bay started Student's House in rented facilities. They incorporated in 1914 and built this structure as residential accommodations for 85 women who attended nearby colleges. The building was designed by Kilham and Hopkins, a Boston architectural firm interested in housing reform. Part of Northeastern University since 1972, Kerr Hall now serves as a residence hall and faculty club.
