My Old House

There's no place like home: big porches, small closets and the eccentricities that make your UD years unlike any others. Join us for a look inside the houses students call home by clicking on the images below.

Alumni: What house did you call home? On which porch did you spend the most spring evenings? Suggest your old house for a future UDQuickly feature.

1306B Brown St.
Three seniors gave up better housing lottery picks — and a porch — to room with two friends who are juniors.

63 Chambers St.
63 Chambers "The Barn" has slanted ceilings, secret rooms and a staircase that connects four friends on each half of this Dark Side duplex.

 

68 Chambers St.
Six housemates, four education majors and one neighborhood fellow, but no partridge or pears in their Christmas tree.

 

228 College Park
Secret caves, surround sound and traffic signs are just a few highlights at 228 College Park this year.

 

232 College Park
232 College ParkJohn Brieske ’85 wrote in looking for glow-in-the-dark Jefferson Airplane lyrics on the wall. We found six men and new paintings in this old house.

405 College Park
405 College ParkCarolyn Fain ’91 wrote to us looking for 1205 Alberta St. We found five men and their potato-growing experiment in her old house with a new address.

431 College Park431 College Park — the left side of this 10-person duplex — sits at the heart of UD, overlooks Albert Emanuel’s lawn and the dome of the chapel and houses the blue-haired men’s basketball cheerleaders.

9 Evanston
9 evanstonIt was a duplex, but now it's a six-person house. This summer, it's getting another facelift.

30 Evanston
30 evanstonSince the summer semester is short and only two habitants fill the four-person house, 30 Evanston is a bit bare this summer.

36 Evanston
36 evanston Five seniors opted for a Marianist house instead of the housing lottery. They keep it clean, cook with fresh produce and even regularly have dinner guests. Oh, did we mention they're guys?

115 Evanston
115 Evanston These fifth-year seniors don't just share a house on Evanston — they also share the same major (mechanical engineering) and a healthy obsession for jam sessions, foosball and board games.

 

1433 Frericks Way
1522 frericks Six juniors opted for tighter living space so they could have a place on Frericks. The bonus? Neighbors in the other half of the duplex.

1522 Frericks Way
1522 frericks They have a bathroom the size of a phone booth and a “little room” upstairs. Maybe some alumni can explain the iron-shaped burn marks on the carpet?

221 Irving Ave.
221 Irving This remodeled house is home to six men, just as it was back in Mike Vitullo ’68’s day. Back then there were black walls, a bulls-eyed ceiling and a bathtub – no shower. See how things have changed.

417 Irving Ave.
They have a cellar out of The Wizard of Oz and a fish named Robert Duvall.

607 Irving Ave.
UD's new vice president and dean of students makes her home in the student neighborhood.

231 K St.
It even comes with a view of the library.

217 Kiefaber St.
The best part of this house is a secret: a hidden room behind the swinging bookcase.

311 Kiefaber St.
An alumna, back for Reunion Weekend 2007, peered inside 311 Kiefaber and recognized the secondhand couch she donated to this landlord house a decade ago.

412 Kiefaber St.
412 KiefaberHorses once called each stall in this carriage house home. Four rooms reveal the history of this landlord-owned property.
419 Kiefaber St.
419 KiefaberMickie Krupitzer Rinehart ’89 shared memories of this old house, where she first roomed with four women who lived together all four years. Today, another group of women calls Kiefaber home.

418 Kiefaber St.
They call it the farmhouse and fill it with art projects.

428 Kiefaber St.
These five seniors have quite an influx of celebrity guests at their house.

452 Kiefaber
Paul Mattie ’04 likened his time in this Kiefaber house to being on a cruise ship, a comparison current residents relate to.

226 L St.
Now just another house in the UD housing lottery, Zeta Tau Alpha alumnae may remember 226 L St. as home. It was the ZTA house until 2005.

20 Lawnview Ave.
Jenny Hesch ’05 fondly remembers her old house. Its current residents opened their doors — and closets — to My Old House.

232 Lowes
UD students rented rooms in the Lowes house that Jeff Wenning ’74 and Jan Wenning Connair ’81 grew up in. When the family moved to Oakwood, they started renting the whole house to students.

418 Lowes St.
It's home to six seniors and possibly one alumna's misplaced cake pan.

232 Stonemill Road
232 Stonemill More than the sloping kitchen floors have changed.

304 Stonemill Road
232 Stonemill With a cornhole set by the front door, these residents are ready for summer fun.

306 Stonemill Road
306 StonemillThe women of 306 Stonemill spread good cheer with an inclusive holiday display.

411 Stonemill Road
Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, one resident.

1907 Trinity Ave.
1907 Trinity The behemoth furnance was one of the things Katie Lawrence ’05 remembered fondly about her old house. 1907 Trinity's current occupants also have a fondness for the basement, which has a bathroom less scary than the one upstairs.

40 Woodland Ave.
108 Woodland Four seniors — and their beta fish — call it home this year.

57 Woodland Ave.
57 WoodlandNot many houses can say they've hosted 100-person pierogi parties — but this one can.

108 Woodland Ave.
108 Woodland It may be one of the largest houses owned by UD, but these guys still need more space for groceries.
