With its stately columns and Ionic portico and pediment, Capen House is a fine example of classical revival architecture. The cupola, gazebo, and gardens at the rear of the house are among the features that distinguish Capen from other houses on campus.
Built in 1825, Capen originally
served as a law school. One of the students was Franklin
Pierce, who later became president
of the United States. The house then became a summer home
and in 1883 it became part of Miss Bessie Capen's private
school.
 
The house has a very cozy living room and sitting room, where housemates like to gather and socialize.
