Morris House, and its
sister, Lawrence House, were built in 1891 in response to
the rapidly growing enrollment at Smith at the end of the
19th century. The two houses have the distinction of being
the first on campus to be named for alumnae. Morris House
is named for Kate Morris, one of the first 11 graduates of
Smith, who later went on to receive the first Ph.D. awarded
by Smith in 1889.
A charming, ivy-covered brick
house with a large front porch, complete with an old-fashioned
swing, Morris House is home to 68 Smith students from all
four classes. It has 34 single rooms, 17 double rooms, and
is equipped with all that is necessary for a true "home
away from home," including a piano, television and fireplace.
Morris has a cozy living room for socializing, and has a pool table. Upstairs, each floor also has a bathroom. Every room is wired for CyberSmith.
Morris House, on Green Street, is conveniently located near the gymnasium, athletic fields, and scenic Paradise Pond, as well as the central campus area, where the classroom and administrative buildings are located. Downtown Northampton is just a short walk down Green Street, which is lined with a number of specialty shops.
