''Also see the [http://www.williams.edu/admin-depts/bg/garfield.html Williams College listing] for Garfield, and the [http://wso.williams.edu/plans/house?id=12 WSO plans].''
Garfield House is on South Street, by the traffic circle on the road leading to the [[Clark Art Museum]]. It is a former fraternity, named for President [[James A. Garfield]], a graduate and former president of Williams.
==Architecture==
Garfield House is Tudor-style, with a light brown facade with dark brown wood forming triangles. It was built in 1924. It has a kind of turret on the right. It has probably been extensively renovated, because it now has two stairways, which both seem retrofitted since they are made of concrete.
==Accommodations==
Garfield has three living rooms:
*a main living room with two couches and a coffee table
*a TV room with a couch and a table
*a library with lamps, chairs, bookshelves with books, and a fireplace
There is also a side room with a [[Pianos|piano]]. The basement has a [[Kitchens|kitchen]], a pool table, and laundry machines. The main living room has a wall of windows facing South Street, through which one could theoretically enter if one had forgotten one's ID card.
Garfield has a great lawn to the left when facing the front of the house, where many IM baseball games and frisbee games take place. It also has a parking lot.
==Inhabitants==
As Garfield is almost entirely singles, it houses almost exclusively seniors.
==Fun Facts==
*In the summer, the [http://www.williams.edu/Mathematics/small_CES.html SMALL] math research students live in Garfield.
*In the summer of 2005, a bobcat was living in the woods behind Garfield, and it was discovered by a security officer who was called because there was a humanlike but rhythmic screaming noise at night, which apparently the bobcat was making.
