About Cushing House
One of the 10 quad houses, Cushing was constructed starting in 1922 and completed as part of the "Great Quadrangle" in 1936. A short walk leads past the president's residence and Paradise Pond to the campus center; the house is also near the fare-free Five College bus service, making it convenient for inter-campus courses.
