Historical Note
Co-Resident Women, Inc., an independent housing corporation, was founded
in 1938 to provide female students at OSU with inexpensive cooperative housing.
In 1943, the organization was formally incorporated as a non-profit
corporation. That year, the organization operated seven houses: Jameson House,
The Pines, Hazelrae, Katherine Veatch Kottage, Heather House, Linden Hall, and
Edith Pernot. Other houses that Co-Resident Women, Inc. operated included
Winston House, and Heather Rae House.
Over time, rental agreements with the University were not renewed and
other houses were sold when they could not be run efficiently. In 1985, faced
with financial difficulties, the corporation deeded its remaining house,
Anderson House, to the OSU Foundation and was dissolved.
