Oberlin Then and Now: Pyle Inn
Then: 158 W. College Street, 1890, Now: Mudd Learning Center parking lot
For many years a private dormitory for women, owned by Mrs. Lettie H. Pyle, the property at 158 West College Street was purchased by the College in 1931 and since that time has been operated as a house of residence for women. It furnishes rooms for thirty women and provides table board for thirty additional students. Since 1934 it has been conducted on a co-operative basis. [Pyle Inn was refurbished in 1963-64 and was torn down in 1975.]
