Garrett House exteriorGarrett House was designated as a faculty-in-residence house during the 1990-91 school year.

Originally named Stauffer House, it was renamed Garrett House in 1994 when trustee Roberta Garrett Veloz ’57 endowed the residence for $1 million in honor of her parents, Mary and Orval Garrett.

Designed by William Lloyd Jones, Inc., the two-story structure is close to 3,500 square feet in size, and is located on the north side of campus, at the end of Haverhill Road.
