McIntire House (1948-1973)

McIntire House, c.1955

Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania purchased the former residence of Bradford O. McIntire from his estate on June 5, 1948. The house, located on South College Street, cost $15,000, and alterations made afterward cost an additional $6,000.

McIntire House first served as a men’s dormitory, and then was home to the Commons Club from 1950 until 1952. In 1953, the house was renovated for use as a women’s residence. The College later sold the house in 1973.
