Smith College: Washburn House

Washburn House was built by Smith in 1878 to house the incoming class of 1882. One of the original three houses constructed to integrate a full academic experience for women, Washburn was named for William Barren Washburn, one of the first trustees of the college.

At the exterior, our work involved replacing the historic porch with a new accessible entry. The interior work included new lounges and kitchen. Bathrooms were upgraded and made accessible and lighting was upgraded in corridors and lounges.
