Chapin occupies what
has been called the geographic center of the campus. This
central location makes Chapin only a short walk to most
academic buildings and neighbor to the Campus Center.
Chapin overlooks the gardens
of the Lyman Plant House, the playing fields and Paradise
Pond, which is responsible for the house motto, "Living
on the Edge of Paradise." Chapin Lawn is the site of Frisbee and other activities or
a place to throw down a blanket and enjoy the sun or cool off in the shade. Residents
often sit and chat on the huge porch overlooking Chapin Lawn.
Chapin's staircase served as the inspiration for
the staircase of Scarlett O'Hara's Tara in Gone With
the Wind, since the novel's author, Margaret Mitchell,
was a proud Chapinite while at Smith.
