Crawford House is a student residence located near the intersection of Avenue N and 17th Street, west of main campus.
Residence Life classifies the two-story small house as a part of "Four West."
The house was built for members of the men's social group, the Dons, who later became members of the Zeta Mu chapter of the Alpha Tau Omega 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. |
