Old Kenyon.
Home of the Alpha Delta Phi, Peeps, and Delta Kappa Epsilon.

QuickFacts:
Mostly upperclassmen housing. Rooms are constructed in pretty normal squares and rectangles. Fully carpeted rooms. Great living, lot of history in the building.

Expect parties on the weekends anywhere down south, which is a great thing because you're so close, but then again sometimes give up trying to sleep.

Laundry in basement.

Triples.

Largerish Doubles. Corner-rooms are slightly larger. 12'7" x 18'4".

Singles 9'10" x 16'.

All co-ed by room.

There are three main common areas in the basement of the building. The east side is the AD lounge, while the west side is the DKE lounge.

Three stories tall (All lounges are in the basement). Also, there's a lot of random student storage. People kept breaking into the belltower though, so some of the top floor storage was closed. Still a great living space though.

Furnature is mostly movable.

Old Kenyon Historical Notes:
KC website wants you to know:

"Destroyed by fire in 1949, the building was reconstructed in 1949-50, with the external stones set in their original places but the interior completely fireproofed."

" The Old Kenyon fire of 1949 remains the greatest tragedy ever sustained by the College. Nine students lost their lives."

" When the College inaugurates a new president, Old Kenyon is "illuminated", its windows are lit in welcome, a tradition whose origins date back to the early nineteenth century."
