Talbot House has the
distinction of being the home of a moose. He's of the stuffed
variety, and serves as the house mascot.
 Built in 1909, Talbot House
was originally part of the Capen School, a private school
run by Miss Bessie Capen in the
early 1900s. The house became a Smith College residence
when Smith acquired the Capen School property in 1921.
80 students call Talbot House home. Most of the first-years live in the 27 large, airy double rooms in the house; the 26 single rooms are generally the province of upperclassstudents. The house also has a cozy living room, where housemates gather to socialize, and a study room. There is a laundry room, with coin-operated washers and dryers in the basement. Every room is also wired for CyberSmith.
 Talbot House residents participate in many house games and traditions each year as well, including "assassins" and "mortals and fairies."
Located on Prospect Street, Talbot House is close to the Campus Center (great for late-night snacks), and is only a short walk away from the central campus area, where the libraries, classrooms, and administrative buildings are located. Downtown Northampton, with its many shops and restaurants, is only a 10-minute walk away.
