Description

This colonial revival mansion was originally constructed in 1886 by architect John McLaughlin as a summer home for Lorenzo and Mary Woodhouse. Lorenzo served as the Treasurer of the Merchant’s Bank in Burlington. Ten years later, the Woodhouses renovated and expanded their home, adding a servants’ wing. After the Woodhouses sold the home in 1929, it went through several additional owners before being acquired by Champlain College in 1996. This expansive hall marks the southern boundary of Main Campus in a beautiful area of Burlington. This larger residence hall is home to a robust community of students, providing ample opportunities to meet new people. Residents enjoy two lounges to engage in hall activities throughout the year and a spacious back porch, perfect for engaging with friends and enjoying the beautiful evening weather in Vermont.

Location

South House is located at the corner of Cliff and South Willard streets in a quieter, more residential part of Burlington’s Hill Section. Students have the opportunity to engage with a large community of students in this grand hall.

Description

Architect Alfred B. Fisher designed this property, which was built in 1889 for prominent Burlington lawyer Henry Ballard, who resided there until 1902. The building was home to several families before being converted to a dormitory in 1946. Champlain College purchased it in 1992. The house has undergone extensive renovation since its purchase. Complete with porches, a kitchen, and a student lounge, this hall is a space to create community, and one can often find a hammock or two in front of Bankus on warm evenings. Another popular feature is a large front yard—perfect for meeting students from other halls and hanging outside to toss a Frisbee or watch the stars (the lack of light pollution here makes the stars incredible)! The hall is close to the Champlain Community Garden.

Location

Bankus Hall is located across the street from the Main Campus on South Willard Street. Students can enjoy close proximity to campus resources and plenty of outdoor and community spaces.
