Description
This document provides the origins, purpose, and outline of the Residential Design course responsible for the Commencement Home. This house, built in 1958, was located at 2207 North Elm Street. It was part of a unique Woman’s College classroom experience where twenty-three art and home-economics majors designed and supervised the building of a house. The purpose of the project was to give the students a working knowledge of the challenges of their homes and families. It was supervised by local architect and Woman’s College part-time Art Department instructor, Edward Loewenstein, and was featured in the November 1958 edition of McCall’s Magazine.
