Student housing became popular along Seventeenth Street in the late-1950s to early-1960s, replacing landscaped residential areas.
In the Residence Life naming system, Mallon and the surrounding small houses were classified as "Four West."

Mallon House
 
Mallon House is one of four small houses located west of main campus on Seventeenth Street.

The house was built for members of the men's social group, the Ravens, who later became members of the Kappa Alpha fraternity.

During the 1980s the house appeared on campus maps as Mallon House, but also as one of two Athletic Dorms (presumably housing for football players utilizing nearby Pritchett Field).
