Currently, the first and second floors house campus administration while the remaining three house student rooms.
It was taken over by protesters in 1969.[3]
It was named a National Historic Landmark in 1986.[2][4]. The Vassar Observatory, the first building built on the Vassar campus, is also a National Historic Landmark.
