SAFFORD HOUSE
Hibbard House

Professor B.H. Hibbard built this two-story and basement house on Lincoln Way just east of Mrs. Beardshear’s house in 1903. This was a location about 200 feet west of what is now Linden Hall.
In 1912 he sold the house to Miss Ruth B. Safford, instructor in English, who lived in it until September 1923 when it was purchased from her by the College for $5700, including the garage.
Subsequent occupants were:1
| 1923-24 | Dean John Foster |
| 1925-39 | Swan Eckberg (Gardener) |
| 1939-43 | Grad dormitory for girls |
| 1943-47 | Dormitory employees |
| 1947-57 | Dean J.F.D. Smith |
In 1958 the house was moved to the Ag 450 farm where it is still standing.
