Parker House (1938-1952)

Also known as the “Junior House,” the Parker House was one of three buildings that housed the women of Dickinson College in the first half of the twentieth century. Located on North Hanover Street, it was the former residence of William H. Parker, and was leased to Dickinson College in September 1938. Because of its proximity to Metzger Hall and Gibbs House, Parker House was used intermittently as a women’s dormitory until the opening of Drayer Hall in 1952.
