A Fraternity of Firsts – Heth Aleph Re at Tufts University

A photo taken between 1896 and 1897. The young child and mother shown in the photo lived in the fraternity house for about a year. The two women on the far left, it appears, were the cook and housekeeper. There were at least three women living in the house at the time, but unfortunately they do not appear in the photo. The address of this house is 37 Sawyer Avenue, Somerville MA, and is currently used as special interest student housing for aspiring artists – hence its name, the Arts Haus.
