Description

The “old brick garage” called Brick House was renovated and furnished for use as a dorm, beginning in the 1925-1926 academic year.

Brick House was popular among students and considered one of the “most attractive” of the Simmons dormitories. During informal reunions, alumnae of this house called themselves “brick bats.”

Brick House was demolished in Spring 1951 to make space for construction of Arnold Hall.
