The Dodd Neighborhood is nestled in the north west and north east corners of the Williams Campus, and boasts one of the most unique groups of houses. A refurbished inn, an old infirmary building, a former fraternity house, and a modern dormitory, as well as a mix of old cottage-style houses all make the Dodd Neighborhood a fun and pleasant area to live. Nine houses -- Dodd, Hubbell, Tyler, Tyler Annex, Thompson, Sewall, Parsons, Lehman and Goodrich House -- house the sophomore, junior and senior members of the Dodd Neighborhood.

Dodd is a quiet neighborhood with buildings that are tucked away from the hustle-and-bustle of campus, but are still a good walk from academic buildings and the new student center. The neighborhood is close to the Stetson Academics Building, the Center for Environmental Studies, and the Sawyer Library. Residents can eat in Dodd Dining Hall, which is right in Dodd House! Students who play sports or are Eph fans will enjoy walking down the road to the large playing fields to the north. The Dodd governance works endlessly to promote a strong sense of community amongst their residents through their thoughtful and creative events, and even though the buildings may be on different parts of campus, students in this neighborhood enjoy all that Dodd has to offer.

Dodd House
Dodd House is the hub of Dodd Neighborhood due to its large programming space and proximity to a dining hall--Dodd Dining Hall is actually in the building! You could walk to Sunday brunch in your jammies and slippers! The former Williams Inn, Dodd is a white clapboard building with green trim. It has many senior singles and doubles, but almost every room has its own bathroom! Dodd rooms are huge, and the house itself boasts hotel-like amenities--a spacious living room, working fireplace, grand piano, pool... just kidding. It does have a separate room off the back with a pool table and TV, and the kitchen is new and spacious with track-lighting and a bar with booth seating.

Hubbell
Commonly known as "Hubbell," Mary Hubbell House was named for Mary Hubbell, the wife of Mark Hopkins. First located where Chapin Hall stands today, it was moved to its present location, just north of the cemetery, in 1910. Famous for its huge "Hubbell Doubles," and nice singles, the house boasts beautiful hardwood floors, bathrooms for most rooms, bay windows, high ceilings, and a nice kitchen. One room has its own porch off the back! Hubbell is near Dodd Dining Hall, and within easy walking distance of Spencer, Sawyer Library, and the tennis courts.

Tyler
Tyler House, a beautiful old fraternity house, was converted to a dormitory in the 1970s. It is full of plush singles and doubles, perfect for seniors with mid-range lottery picks and sophomores with low ones. Rooms in Tyler House have hardwood floors and ample closet space -- some even have old fireplaces, now boarded up for safety. The first floor of Tyler has two grand living rooms. One is known as the Moose Room, thanks to a giant moose head mounted above the working fireplace of the dark oak-paneled space. Tyler is famous for Tyler Tuesdays held on the Tuesdays of Winter Study. Students who live in Tyler will use Tyler Annex's laundry facilities, but a new covered walkway makes the trip easier. Tyler is close to Tyler Annex, and Mission Park Dining Hall.

Tyler Annex
Tyler Annex, or "The Annex," as it is affectionately called, is adjacent to Tyler House. Featuring fine brick and cinder block rooms, Tyler House is the perfect haven for folks who want to feel like they live "off campus" but with all the amenities of on campus living. Tyler Annex boasts a great basement with kitchen and a pool table, with a view of a small forested area beyond a nice lawn. Deer often graze on the local greenery there, and keep students company as they trudge down the long driveway towards campus. Rooms are good sized, with common rooms on each floor and bathrooms shared by only two people. People say Tyler Annex is so far away from campus that it's in Vermont. That may be a bit of an exaggeration, but the house is a good walk from most academic buildings. However those who've lived in Tyler Annex boast of its well-equipped common rooms, big windows, and comfortable living spaces. Just think of Tyler Annex as an evening retreat, away from the hustle and bustle of campus!

Thompson
Thompson House, also known as the Old I, is behind Mission Park on Park Street. The old infirmary (hence the name, the Old I), Thompson has 19 singles and six doubles, making it a good place for seniors, juniors, and sophomores. Large central corridors are lined with rooms of varying size, some with outdoor balconies that rival those of Currier and Spencer. Nice common rooms and a beautiful kitchen add to this house's charm, as does the history. Don't worry, no dead bodies or infirm Williams students of years gone by. Maybe you'll get lucky and get the old X-Ray room. Some say the old radiation prevents cell phone usage, but that's probably just an old wives' tale! Thompson is close to Mission Park Dining Hall and the tennis courts, and is within walking distance of most everything on campus. But then again, everything on campus is within walking distance of most everything on campus.

Sewall
Sewall House is compact, with no true common rooms. This means that the kitchen and dining area are the place to be. Alums who have lived in Sewall have described living here as truly living in a home. Sewall houses ten students, with one double room. Residents can either cook and eat in their own kitchen, or eat in Dodd Dining Hall which is just across the street. Sewell is close to Sawyer Library, the Center for Environmental Studies, and the tennis courts.

Parsons
Parsons is a friendly small house with a bright yellow kitchen, glassed in porches, and a great view from the front porch, looking south towards the middle of campus and Hopkins Hall. Nestled next to Hubbell, Parsons is a member of the Dodd Neighborhood. Residents can either cook in their kitchen or eat at Dodd Dining Hall. Alums have said that you won't live in a better place for years after you graduate, it's that nice. Large singles mean that this is prime senior housing. Be sure to make use of the huge pile of snow that facilities piles in the front yard in the winter!

Goodrich
Goodrich House, a former co-op, is now a part of the Dodd Neighborhood. The house is in the Victorian style, white with green shutters, big windows, and nice porches. Rooms on the third floor have views overlooking the wooded landscape, which, on autumn days are second-to-none. Rooms are spacious, with 5 singles and four doubles -- this house will be optimal senior housing, providing the closeness of co-op living, but the amenities of on-campus life. It's close to Dodd Dining Hall, Stetson, and the Library. Spacious living rooms and fireplaces make Goodrich House the place to be.

Lehman
Lehman Hall, named after Herbert H. Lehman, Class 1899, is a former first year building, but now houses upper-class students who belong to the Dodd Neighborhood. Featuring a bronze plate of Lehman himself on the southeast corner of the building, the hall consists of two entries that are "glued together" in the middle, where there is a shared common room with TV and a foosball table. Rooms are arranged mostly in suites, and have fireplaces with no flame or flu, built-in cabinetry, and nearby bathrooms. It's small and quiet, but close to most everything on campus, including Spencer, the Library, and Dodd Dining Room.
