About Albright House
Constructed in 1900 on Bedford Terrace, Albright is known for its pink porch light and much-coveted disco ball. The house accommodates over 70 students across four floors and boasts the largest house library on campus, hosting themed teas, trips to MacLeish field station, and a playful rivalry with neighboring Baldwin House.
Traditions & lore
- Smith's own house page lists Albright's mascots as “Paul Walker, Greg Heffley, Tina the Fairy, and the platonic ideal of a peach.” (Smith College — Albright House)
