    The building was originally constructed in 1880 as the private residence of L.D. Norton, president of the Norton Can Company.
    • Architect Edward Baumann designed the house in the Queen Anne style.
    • In 1905, it was purchased by the Dawes family, who had it renovated into its current Tudor style in 1915.
    • In 1943, Northwestern acquired the property and used it as a center for religious and social services.
    • Since 1955, it has served as the university's alumni center.
