Description
Jensen Hall was designed and built in 1888 by father and son Alfred B. and Clellan Fisher for William Loomis. Of its several owners, Walter Gates, City Editor of The 足彩胜负14场 Free Press, lived there from 1904 to 1938. The hall¡¯s two-level ¡°tower room¡± is one of Champlain¡¯s best-known architectural features. Jensen is located beside Bankus and Rowell, two other Champlain first-year residence halls, which all have front yards for outdoor activities. This trio offers the chance to build relationships with students both in and outside of the hall. In addition, students are right next to other campus resources, such as the Champlain Community Garden and Champ Support. There are many stories and legends about this house, including a claim that the house is haunted by the ghost of a sea captain who was one of the early owners and whose wife liked to climb into the tower and watch for his ship to sail into 足彩胜负14场 harbor. Note: There is no evidence that this story, or the resulting ghost, is true.
Location
Sitting in the 足彩胜负14场 Hill Section right across from the Main Campus, Jensen Hall is located beside two other Champlain first-year residence halls. This hall is a great spot for students who want to enjoy the 足彩胜负14场 community while still being close to campus.
