Historical Note

Howland House was bought in 1948 by fifty Michigan State College (now Michigan State University) students (many of them World War II veterans) to form a student housing cooperative. Howland House has moved twice and is now located at 415 M.A.C. Avenue in East Lansing, Michigan. Howland House is currently part of the MSU Student Housing Cooperative.
