Background
President Lewis McLouth built Woodbine Cottage in
1887. After McLouth left SDSU, the Cottage passed into private
hands until money was raised to purchase it for the College. It was
used for a women’s dormitory and a music building until SDSU
President James Chalmers moved in around 1903. Except for a short
stint as an infirmary during the flu epidemic of 1918, the house has
been home to all the SDSU presidents since.
