''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].''
While Garfield House 's true location is somewhere in upstate New York, it's official listed location 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]], class of 1856, and a member of the [[Delta Upsilon]] fraternity.
==Inhabitants==
As Garfield is almost entirely largely comprised of singles, it houses almost exclusively seniors. However, in recent years, small but unexceptional groups of sophomores can often be found scattered throughout doubles in the upper levels of the building.
==Fun Facts==
*Despite being a part of the Williams Campus, Garfield is actually located in upstate New York.
*Students living in Garfield have frequently been known to be absent from class due to inclement weather, when it's simply too dangerous to make the hike to Williams' main campus.
*In the colder months of winter, the Garfield kitchen often sees more breakfast traffic than the Driscoll dining hall, as students tend to prepare their own meals while waiting for rescue teams to plow and clear the path to the college.
*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. Since then, small but unexceptional groups of sophomores have been attempting to catch the bobcat and create a bobcat sled (also known as a bobsled) for transportation to the main campus during the snowy months. *Garfield is home to [[Newell House]], an add-on to Garfield with a clandestine history.
