Title A name given to the resource Salvage Shop (97 Newbury Street), 1921 Subject The topic of the resource Salvage Shop (Boston, Mass.) 97 Newbury Street (Boston, Mass.) Description An account of the resource Simmons alumnae organized a Salvage Shop as part of the First Endowment Campaign and rented a house at 97 Newbury Street in March 1921. Donated items were sold and mended on the first and second floors of the Shop (average sales were over $100/day), while alumnae teas and dinners were held on the third floor. In the evenings, alumnae gathered to make candy, which was then passed out to customers the next morning. The Simmons Sandwich Wagon, also operated by alumnae, was a popular feature of the Shop. During 1921, the mobile counterpart of the store, “The Little Shop on Wheels,” sold mended items, sandwiches, hot coffee, and ice cream while business in the city was slow during the summer months. The Little Shop on Wheels visited county fairs across Massachusetts, including those held in Plymouth, Worcester, Fitchburg, Barre, and Brockton. In Fall 1921, the Salvage Shop moved to 28 Blagden Street, where it remained until its closure in 1922. During the December holidays, a smaller, temporary Shop location was open at 23 Blagden Street.

Title A name given to the resource Smith Hall, 1964-2026 Subject The topic of the resource Smith Residence Hall (Boston, Mass.) 54 Pilgrim Road (Boston, Mass.) Description An account of the resource Pilgrim House and Longwood House were demolished in the summer of 1963 to build Smith Residence Hall, named in honor of Dr. Richard Mason Smith (1881-1981), a member of the Corporation since 1937. Faced with a shortage of on-campus housing during the construction of Smith Hall, freshmen whose families lived within a twenty-five-mile radius of the College were ordered to commute during the 1963-1964 academic year. Smith Hall opened on Sunday, February 2, 1964, anchoring the Residence Campus ‘quad’ of nine brick dormitories and a dining hall. During the dedication ceremony later that fall, Milton Edward Lord (1898-1985), chairman of the Simmons Corporation (1963-1968) and Director of the Boston Public Library (1932-1965), presented a golden key to President Park. A chapel and meditation room held services throughout the day, and Smith Hall was the first dorm to include a much-anticipated snack bar (a row of vending machines) and a coffee shop. Students living on the Residence Campus during the 1960s often went to the convenience and sandwich shop Howie’s (19 Pilgrim Road), about a five-minute walk from the dorms. As Smith Hall’s snack bar was open after Howie’s closed at 10:30 PM, it soon became a popular meeting place for students and was stocked with soft drinks, coffee, candy, ice cream, and cigarettes. With the completion of Smith Hall, which could house 144 students, over 1,000 students lived on the Residence Campus by late 1964. Located on the Residence Campus, Smith Hall will be removed during Skanska USA Commercial Development's 'Longwood Place' project as part of a 99-year ground lease agreement with Simmons.
