The Wood Neighborhood is made up of houses of all shapes and sizes, and spans the southwest corner of the Williams Campus. The houses that make up the neighborhood are Perry, Agard, Gladden, Wood, and Garfield, and Carter. The houses range from Row Houses--old fraternity buildings that feature nice rooms with wood trim and old school amenities to large dormitory buildings in the Greylock Quad.

Member's of the Wood Neighborhood, known as the "People's Cluster," enjoy a fun living atmosphere, spacious grassy areas with volleyball nets and room for wiffle ball, as well as indoor spaces for parties, movies, and dinners. Wood Neighborhood is in proximity to Greylock Dining Hall, the Science Quad, the '62 Center for Theatre and Dance, and the Paresky Student Center.

Wood House
Wood House, the old Zeta Psi fraternity, was named for Hamilton Wood, Class of 1910, composer of many songs in the official Williams College Songbook. It is newly renovated but still boasts some of the original dark oak woodwork and flooring. Though Wood is the hub house of the neighborhood and hosts many of its parties, it has enough different kinds of spaces to fit everyone's needs. Two nice living rooms inhabit the first floor, as well as a back study, and a new kitchen. The basement has a common space with a bar used for parties and recreation space. The second floor is comprised of single rooms attached to common rooms, and the third floor has some large single rooms that share a common room. Wood is close to Greylock Dining Hall, the '62 Center for Theatre and Dance, and the Science Quad.

Perry House
Perry House, the former Alpha Delta Phi Fraternity, gets its name from Professor Emeritus Arthur Latham Perry (1830-1905), Class of 1952, and his sons. The house was renovated in 1970, but still retains remnants of its Greek Past, including an extraordinarily...interesting...inner room known as The Goat Room. You'll have to use your imagination on what The Goat Room was formerly used for, but today its used as a party and fancy dinner space. Perry also has a beautiful library great for studying and resting, and a grand staircase taking you to upstairs rooms. Exquisite inside and out, Perry is a wonderful Row House, housing a few sophomores, some juniors, and seniors, in 21 singles and two doubles.

Agard

Garfield
Garfield House, the former Delta Upsilon House, is on South Street but still known as an "Row House." It was named after the 9th President of Williams College, Harry Augustus Garfield, Class of 1885, the son of James A. Garfield, the 20th President of the United States. Garfield has 27 singles and 12 doubles. It is built in the Tudor style, and boasts a beautiful library with fire place, a nice kitchen, and overall nice living space.
