History

Nancy Squire Cottage was owned by the Kindergarten Training School as part of a complex comprising Squire and May Cottages, both built in 1870, and a brick connecting structure built by the School in 1922. Squire Cottage had been renovated in 1908. The College purchased the entire complex in 1932 and opened it as a first-year dormitory called May Cottage in 1938. It was demolished in 1968.
