Hill House
From CarlWiki
Hill House is a large off-campus house located at 205 College Street. It includes rooms for 25 students and is available to upperclassmen through room draw.
History
Hill House was built in 1894. Fred B. Hill '00 and his wife Deborah Sayles Hill purchased it in 1907 when Hill was hired by his alma mater as a professor of Biblical Literature. The Hills lived in the house until 1913, when they sold it to Carleton and moved down the block to the new home they had just built, which is now known as Parish House. Hill House then became the president's residence, and President Donald Cowling lived there from 1914 until his retirement in 1945. It has been student housing since that time.
