Alumni House
Known as the Alumni House for many years, the building now houses the Federal TRIO Programs (TRIO) and has a long history. It served as a boarding house for SWT students before residence halls were constructed in the 1930s. The house was relocated a few hundred yards from its original site in 1967, and LBJ reminisced about living there as a student.
In the 2000s, the University researched paint chips to determine the house's original colors as part of a restoration process.
