A four-and-a-half-story red brick Georgian Revival building from 1910, Northrop accommodates 80 students mostly in singles. Situated across from the college entrance with direct access to the Five College bus stop, it was named after Birdsey Grant Northrop, an influential trustee who championed educational reform and founded National Arbor Day.
