History

Goodrich House came into possession of the College in 1932 from the Kindergarten Association. It continued to serve the Kindergarten-Primary Training School through the year 1932-33. The building was remodelled in the summer of 1933 for use as a women’s building. It contained offices for the Y.W.C.A. and other student organizations. Its facilities were available for small groups desiring accommodations for committee work and for informal social occasions. It was originally the home of Edward J. Goodrich, built in 1886. Goodrich House was torn down in the summer of 1963.
