 The Alumnae House of Smith College, located at 33 Elm Street, was built as a center for alumnae and college activity. The Alumnae Association had been housed at Allen Field House (present site of the Quad) and College Hall. In 1930, a member of the class of 1883 started the Building Fund, and with the generosity of the Alumnae Fund, the Alumnae Association was able to begin construction in 1937. Notable architectural features of the Alumnae House include a Georgian facade; three-over-three Colonial fenestration; an entrance portico with Doric columns; and an interior featuring Art Deco motifs. |

Today, the Alumnae House contains offices for more than 50 Alumnae Association and college staff. Located inside the Alumnae House are offices that include the Smith Alumnae Quarterly, Alumnae Outreach, and the Smith Travel Program. The Alumnae Gallery, on the first floor, presents five shows of alumnae art work annually. In addition, Smith College's Office of Advancement, which raises funds for the college from alumnae, friends, parents, corporations and foundations, has its headquarters in the Alumnae House.
