When President Bennett Hutchinson arrived as the first president of the new school, there was no place on the campus for him to live. He had a house constructed on the campus at his own expense. His stipulated that when he left the school then the trustees would purchase it from him. Located on the edge of campus, from 1892-1922 it was home to presidents Hutchinson, Boyers, Wier, Doney, and Fleming. It was razed in 1952.
The site of this house is located to the left of the sidewalk as you go toward the present-day Annie Merner Pfeiffer Library from College Avenue.
