History
Parr House is named for Frank Parr, who sold a dairy herd to the college in 1914. The dairy farm was located on the land around Parr House and Farm House.
Parr eventually became student housing. Sci-Fi House was run out of Parr for its first year, 1993-1994. It was used as the Arb Office for a time in the late 1990s, until the Modern Language Center was moved to its current site and became the new Arb Office. Since that time, it returned to student housing and has been a second home to Sustainable Living House.
