Faculty Row No.9, 217 Beech St. (1884)
The community that is now East Lansing began on the campus of M.A.C., in its "Faculty Row." Faculty Row No.9, built in 1884, was the home of the Professor of Horticulture. Of the ten houses in the Row, only two remain: Number 7 (in its original location but much modified as Cowles House, the President's residence) and Number 9 (since moved to Beech Street, likely prior to 1924). Though its form is much the same, including a distinctive triangular dormer above the front porch, the wood siding is not original: photographs taken on campus show No.9 to have a brick façade. |
