Allen House is a student residence-turned-office building located near the southwestern corner of the intersection of Avenue I and 20th Street, facing east.
Residence Life classifies the two-story small house as a part of the "The Valley"; it was formerly classified as part of "Four Central."
Shortly after its construction, the building was home to the Epsilon Pi chapter of the Pi Kappa Alpha, which lived here until the late-1970s (the chapter disbanded in 1992 though it had since relocated). This building has since been used for upperclassmen housing.
Residence Life announced in March 2009 that the house would be converted to academic offices beginning the Fall 2009 semester. Following renovations the former residence now accommodates the Banner Resource and Training Center. The October 2009 Banner newsletter notes "the first floor...has been turned into work space for Banner training - including two computer labs, one with eighteen stations and one with twelve, a small conference room, and several smaller work rooms."

In 2009, it was announced that Allen House was on the demolition schedule as part of the 2008 Campus Master Plan [3,4].
