OEFFA Conference 2012

The historic Monomoy Place hosts formal and informal gatherings for alumni, family, and friends of Denison University. Originally the private residence of Dr. Alfred Follett, the house was acquired by John Sutphen Jones in 1896 when he married Follett's daughter, Sarah Fedelia Follett. It was then that Jones named the house Monomoy Place after a small island off the coast of Cape Cod near Chatham, Mass. The house was renovated in 1979 for use as the residence of Denison's presidents (1980-2018).

The College Town House serves as event and meeting spaces for campus and community groups. Built for Dr. William P. Kerr, principal of the Granville Female College, 1854-1872, the house was bought by Sigma Chi in 1899 and used for the fraternity until 1929. William P. Huffman, class of 1911 and a Sigma Chi member bought it as a gift to the college in 1944. Huffman intended the house to promote good relations between the town and college and to be used by both.
