Built in 1955, Lamont House was the first house to be constructed by the college after the Quad houses were completed in 1936. Lamont House was named after Florence Corliss Lamont, a loyal alumna from the class of 1893. About 80 students call Lamont home, with a mix of singles and doubles. The building's unique octagonal-shaped dining room brings in exceptional light from its many-paned windows.
