Monterey
Located at the corner of High and Clay streets, Monterey
is used as the Faculty House meeting space and serves as
the College’s guest house. The property has federal,
state and local historic landmark status. The large, Greek
Revival-style house was built in 1853 for Powell Huff, a
Salem businessman. In its long history, Monterey has served
as a hotel, a rooming house, a fraternity house and was
a private residence from the 1920s until the College purchased
it in 2002. According to tradition, the buildings on the
Monterey property were built by the Dyerle brothers. The
Dyerles also built the College’s Administration Building.
