Newell House is an additional housing space buttressing the back of Garfield House. Built in commemoration of Newell Garfield, the beloved son of James R. Garfield and grandson of President James A. Garfield, the tiny addition houses two floors and is connected to the main building of Garfield by a sloping ramp. There was originally some reservations about building the addition, given Williamstown lore that a Native American Shaman's layer had once adorned the ground on which Newell now resides. However, after several paranormal experts were brought in to sample the area in the early 1950s, it was determined that whatever spirits had once inhabited the land had also decided that it was permissible for a student dormitory to be built on it. However, apparently after fraternities were abolished and co-education made the school policy, there were increasing reports of spirits wandering along the very tiny and limited hallway space that exists in Newell.
