Constructed in 1817 for Theodore Strong, Hamilton’s first professor of mathematics, the structure has served as the home of presidents as well as faculty members of the College. The house was extensively remodeled after it was purchased by Elihu Root as a summer home in 1893, and was occupied after 1937 by his daughter, Edith Root Grant, and her husband, Ulysses S. Grant III, grandson of the president. A National Historic Landmark, it was acquired by the College in 1979.
