| The
historic Newcomb Dean's residence
was designed and built in 1908 by
Paul Andry, the architect of Tulane
University's earliest buildings.
The Italianate villa was intended
to be the architect's own home and
later became the home of Newcomb's
President, Brandt V.B. Dixon, who
lived there until 1919. In 1938 Tulane's
Board of Administrators designated
the house as the residence of the
Dean of Newcomb College. Today it serves
as the home of the H. Sophie Newcomb
Memorial College Institute. |
