Creager House is one of four small houses on Seventeenth Street. In the Residence Life naming system, Creager and the surrounding small houses were classified as "Four West."
The house was built for members of the men's social group, the Caballeros, who later became members of the Epsilon Psi chapter of Sigma Chi fraternity.
Once the fraternity moved off campus the house was open to upperclassmen.

Student housing became popular along 17th Street in the late-1950s to early-1960s, replacing landscaped residential areas. The western edge of Jackson-Shaver Hall and the eastern tip of the old bleachers at Pritchett Field can be seen in this aerial photograph; later, four small hosues and Adams Hall would be constructed in the area between. |
