Chadbourne is a white, two-story [[co-op]] located on [[Stetson Court]] between the [[Jewish Religious Center]] and [[Harper House]], and across from [[Bascom House]]. Its contains ten singles and one double room and features one of the best [[kitchens]] on campus adjoining a comfortably furnished [[common room|common]] living room.
The older, streetside half of Chadbourne is also the nicer in terms of private and common space. Further back along the central hallway, past a small laundry room and large bathroom and down a flight of about five steps, one descends into a newer and tangibly different half of the house.
To the rear, "lower Lower Chadbourne" contains five singles, two very nice ones on the back corners of the house, and three small ones in the middle of the ground floor. Of these latter three, the northern two should be picked into with caution: each has only one window that faces north, is at ground level, and located under a staircase. The amount of light these let in is literally depressing.
Lower Chadbourne is slowly settling as a structure. Random creaks are audible many nights, and are seasonally affected. Possibly from this settling, the rear door has become warped in the past, preventing its automatic closing and resulting in frequent sounding of the [[door buzzer]].
===Second floor===
The second floor of Chadbourne may have the overally finest singles on campus; the northwestern room up here went to pick #1 in the [[Spring 2004]] [[room draw]]. Each sizeable room has multiple large windows and its own bathroom. There is also a one-way door out to a small east-side terrace, from which descends a staircase that handily feeds exiters towards the [[Science Quad]].
===Common area and kitchen===
*There may or may not be a breadmaker in the kitchen, left by a 2004-5 inhabitant.
*Pick #1 in the Spring 2004 room draw chose the top floor NW room.
*With 11-12 inhabitants and 4 exit points, Chadbourne is probably the most fire-safe house on campus. In drills during [[Fall 2004]] and [[Spring 2005]], it evacuated completely within seconds (Of course there was also just one person home. The same person). ==See also==* Floorplans (pdf): [http://www.williams.edu/dean/campus_life/pdfs/PDFFloorPlans/ChadbourneFirstFloor.pdf first], [http://www.williams.edu/dean/campus_life/pdfs/PDFFloorPlans/ChadbourneSecondFloor.pdf second]* Campus Life's [http://www.williams.edu/dean/campus_life/chadbourne.html Chadbourne page] <googlemap lat="42.711788" lon="-73.208089" type="satellite" zoom="18" width="400" height="300">42.711752, -73.208036, Chadbourne House#758bc542.711756, -73.20751, Shortcut through trees to [[Science Quad]] and points west.42.711733, -73.207328</googlemap>
