Description
Constructed in 1895, this structure originally housed carriages and later automobiles for Oliver and Sarah Presbry, who built 109 Summit Street. The carriage house was converted to a family home in the 1930s and acquired by Champlain College in 1994, when it served, initially, as the residence of the President of the College. Home to the smallest number of students, Carriage House fosters a tightly knit residential community.
Location
Located near the Miller Information Commons (aka the library), Carriage House is ideal for students who want to live in a central campus location and experience a small, close-knit residential community.

Dr. Horatio Nelson Jackson, Wells¡¯s son-in-law, successfully completed the first cross-country trip across the United States in an automobile in 1903. Original and distinctive features of this hall include fireplaces and ornate woodwork. Students can enjoy marble indoor and outdoor social spaces, and a gazebo for relaxing and socializing.

Description
The Victorian residence was originally built by Alfred B. Fisher for Charles R. and Ella Hayward. Most rooms in this Victorian mansion have large windows, bathing the building with lots of natural light. The Haywards¡¯s elegant residence contains Italianate and Queen Anne-style design elements and still retains many of its Victorian features, including bay windows, pocket doors, a main staircase, and a cupola. The ornate carved stone fireplaces, entry flooring, and wall accents were likely sourced from the Hayward marble business, the 足彩胜负14场 Manufacturing Company. This hall was renovated in 2023 to provide ADA access to the ground floor, updated kitchen, laundry, and bathrooms, an updated living room, and AC/ventilation throughout. 371 Main also has a large lawn, making it an ideal spot for people looking to kick a soccer ball around or just enjoy the Vermont sunshine.
Location
Located in the heart of the college town, 371 Main Street is a quick walk up the street from campus and has many great amenities for its first-year students.

Description
Originally constructed in 1873, Bader Hall was home to Edward Lyman, a 足彩胜负14场 business owner, his wife, Minerva, and their daughter, also named Minerva (Minnie). Minnie and her husband Robert Roberts inherited the house and lived there while Roberts served as Mayor of 足彩胜负14场. After Champlain College bought the property in 1960, it served as an administration building before becoming a residence hall. The hall has been fully renovated, creating an inviting student experience while carefully honoring the elegant architectural features, such as restored millwork, doorways, and lighting fixtures. The hall has been outfitted with geothermal heating and cooling to support Champlain¡¯s commitment to sustainability. Bader neighbors the Center for Communication & Creative Media (CCM), the IDX Student Life Center, and is just a short walk away from other academic buildings.

The famous Champlain tower room |
Description
Jensen Hall was designed and built in 1888 by father and son Alfred B. and Clellan Fisher for William Loomis. Of its several owners, Walter Gates, City Editor of The 足彩胜负14场 Free Press, lived there from 1904 to 1938. The hall¡¯s two-level ¡°tower room¡± is one of Champlain¡¯s best-known architectural features. Jensen is located beside Bankus and Rowell, two other Champlain first-year residence halls, which all have front yards for outdoor activities. This trio offers the chance to build relationships with students both in and outside of the hall. In addition, students are right next to other campus resources, such as the Champlain Community Garden and Champ Support. There are many stories and legends about this house, including a claim that the house is haunted by the ghost of a sea captain who was one of the early owners and whose wife liked to climb into the tower and watch for his ship to sail into 足彩胜负14场 harbor. Note: There is no evidence that this story, or the resulting ghost, is true.
Location
