Sigma Alpha Epsilon House (1946-1964)

Sigma Alpha Epsilon House (1946-1964)

The Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity at Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania had lost both its first house and second house to the outbreak of two world wars. But the fraternity regrouped and purchased yet another home in 1946. After some renovations, the brothers were able to move into their new home in the spring of 1947. The new house was located at 200 South College Street and was a three story red brick house with white trim and a large front porch with double white columns.

Sigma Alpha Epsilon remained at this location until 1964 when the fraternity moved into Quad 5 (now part of Baird-McClintock Hall) in the Fraternity Quadrangle. The house on South College Street was then sold to the Dickinson School of Law and was later demolished.
