The Jesse E. Rambo Home Management House is located
directly behind Fell Hall on University Avenue. 
It was first occupied during the 1939 school year. Reminiscent
of Georgian architecture, the building consists of two
complete six-room houses under one roof accessible to
each other through the director’s apartment on the second
floor and the recreation rooms in the basement.
Each house accommodated six residents. Senior students
in home economics lived for a period of nine weeks to
satisfy the requirements for "actual homemaking experience"
set up by the Federal Board of Vocational Home Economics.
It currently houses the Development Office and the University
Foundation.
