Dunn Guest House<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Standing next to historic Libbey Forum and christened in honor of Robert Dunn \u201950, L.H.D. \u201999 and Gladys Bovino Dunn \u201951, the 19th-century farmhouse has become the first ever Bates College guest house. The three-floor house offers five guest rooms for special visitors, including honorary degree recipients, acclaimed speakers or performers, and other friends of the College. A three-room common space dominates the first floor, while the second floor features three bedrooms. The third floor features a suite of rooms. A handicapped-accessible room adjoins the main building on the first floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Purpose of the Dunn House<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Dunn House was dedicated in 2001 and is the gift of alumni Robert and Gladys Dunn ’50\/’51. Its purpose is to provide a warm, inviting and comfortable place for overnight visitors to the College including alumni, speakers, potential employees and others on College business. While the primary purpose of the house is a guest residence, the kitchen\/dining area can also be reserved for small meetings or events that are related to the life of the college.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
