Changes

Tyler House is a converted fraternity (its original Greek letters can still be seen on the southern entrance pillar). Despite its distance from campus (an extra 5 minutes' walking time to get to where you want to go--and even the 0.8 miles to the art studio only take takes about 15 minutes), it is actually a nice living space. Its only real flaws are the lack of common space on the upper floors and the lack of adequate laundry facilities. However, Tyler Annex is just a short walk away.

Tyler Annex is about fifty feet closer than Tyler House to the rest of the Williams Campuscampus.

Location of the only common areas, the spacious living room and the Moose Room, as well as the kitchen, the laundry room, the trash and recycling room, two enormous doubles, and three wheelchair-accessible bathrooms (two, inexplicably, side-by-side off the kitchen). The kitchen also gives access to the staircase leading to the completely separate second-floor suite, rooms 214, 215, and 216. This suite can only be reached by this staircase and by a fire escape outside, making it even more self-contained than the third-floor suite 305.

The name became misleading after the 2006-2007 school year, when the titular moose head was thrown in the fireplace and burned. But the door sign still reads "Moose Room" (or "Moose of Doom," as some enterprising soul tried altered it to alter it), and the room still has a satisfyingly 19th-century feel. It's paneled in dark wood, with a wooden floor and large bay windows on the north wall. A large banquet table hosts many a party over the course of the school year. The pool table and upright piano see far less use, but the TV is often on.

Home to twelve rooms of ridiculously disparate dimensions. 303 and 304 are much smaller than the not-to-scale floorplan would lead you to believe--there is enough floor space for a twin bed, a desk, a chair, and the occupant, and that's about it unless you get creative. Even then it's a stretch. 305A and 305B share the floor's only common room, room 305, which can be locked, making the three rooms on the west end of the hall a completely self-contained suite.  306 is a fairly good-sized room with a walk-in closet. 307 is of comparable size, but without the walk-in closet. 310 is slightly larger, but the closet is too small to be very useful.  308 and 309 are moderately large rooms.  311 and 312 are quite large. But 302 takes the prize for largest room on the floor, rivaling the first-floor doubles in size. It is essentially a two-room apartment, with a small foyer-like entry room leading into a large bedroom area.
