Originally built in 1827, Chase House was occupied by several prominent local families until established as a school for girls by Mary A. Burnham in the 1870s. The Burnham school was incorporated into the college as a campus house in 1968 and named for Mary Ellen Chase, an accomplished writer and Professor of English Literature at Smith. Today, Chase House provides housing for senior class students only. Currently, Chase has 57 single rooms; three living/sitting rooms (the formal living room, the middle room and the "red" room where the TV is located). The house was completely renovated in the summer of 1995. Renovations included: an elevator shared with Duckett house, new furniture, handicapped accessible bathrooms and student rooms, new fixtures, new bathrooms, and a laundry room on the first floor
Weekly film/video nights are popular as a great way to take a study break. Chase also houses the Student Loan Library and two administrative offices in the basement of the building.
