Given to the college in 1924 by Vassar alumnae sisters, Blanche Ferry Hooker (1894) and Queene Ferry Coonley (1896), Alumnae House is often called the “House of a Thousand Treasures” because most of the contents were donated or made possible by Vassar alumnae/i. Alumnae House provides overnight accommodations to members of the Vassar community, including prospective students, and is also available to the general public as a venue for weddings and other catered events. The building also serves as headquarters for the Office of Alumnae/I Affairs and Development and for the Alumnae and Alumni of Vassar College (AAVC).
