President's House (Harvard)
- President's House (Harvard)
President's House, found at 17 Quincy Street, served as a residence for Harvard Presidents until 1971, when Derek Bok (1971-1991) moved his family to Elmwood. In 1995, the building was renamed, and is currently known as Loeb Hall.
History
President's House was donated to Harvard University by then president A. Lawrence Lowell. It was designed by Lowell's cousin, Guy Lowell and completed in 1912. During World War II, President James Bryant Conant and his family allowed the United States Navy to use the building for its V-12 Navy College Training Program. In 1971, Harvard President Derek Bok chose to live at Elmwood, off Brattle Street, which had previously housed deans of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. In 1995, the building was renamed to honor steady benefactors, John Langeloth Loeb and Frances Lehman Loeb.
Current usage
Since the Boks' departure, the building has housed the University governing board offices and is often utilized by the two boards, the Overseers and the Corporation, for formal meetings. The first floor of the house is used for a variety of special events ranging from dinners to large receptions, and is available for rent.
