In 1946, the Los Angeles Times ran a story on the conversion of a mansion into a college dormitory and dining commons, to be called Story House, in honor of the late president of the Claremont Colleges, Russell Story.
Story House, a Craftsman masterpiece and the first true CMC building, was severely damaged by fire in February 1969. It was rebuilt in 1970 at the current location. In 1994, it was expanded and renovated. It serves as the home of the Facilities & Campus Services department and the student mailroom. Students can get mail and package deliveries and have their card keys activated here.
Story House Address:
742 Amherst Avenue, c/s 8th
