When Baldwin House was built at the turn of the century, on-campus housing was available to less than half of Smith's students. This large brick, ivy-covered building on Bedford Terrace was constructed to permit 77 students to live in college housing.
Visitors to Baldwin first notice its lovely front porch, perfect for lounging. On the first floor of Baldwin is a spacious living room and a comfortable foyer. The living room features a piano, a fireplace, and cable television with VCR and Playstation 2. A collection of old Smith yearbooks, Baldwin scrapbooks, and books donated by former Baldwin residents fill the room's bookcases.
Upstairs, there are 49 single and 14 double rooms. Each floor has 18 rooms. Additionally, each floor has a bathroom with multiple showers and toilet stalls. The rooms all have high ceilings with big windows; most rooms on the fourth floor have eaves which add character. The finished basement features seven single rooms and its own lounge. Laundry facilities and a soda machine are also located in the basement. Baldwin is also wired for Internet access through Cybersmith.
Baldwin
is less than a five-minute walk to the center of campus,
and is less than a block away from a Northampton
pharmacy and grocery store. It's just a two-minute walk
away to downtown Northampton, which puts the cafes, bookstores
and shops of the city right at Baldwinites' fingertips.
