Oberlin Then and Now: Churchill Cottage
Then: 119 W. College Street, 1884, Now: Open space near Harkness Dorm
This cottage, located at 119 West College Street, was named in honor of Charles Henry Churchil, for forty-eight years a professor in Oberlin College. It was remodeled in the summer of 1913 for use as a house of residence for women. It accommodates eighteen persons, who take their meals elsewhere. [Churchill Cottage was torn down in June of 1948 to make room for Harkness Hall.]
