University House (1970)
Guest Residence
Located on the former Christo G. Tchaperoff property at the corner of Haro and Sinclair Roads,
this house was constructed in 1969 and 1970 as an official residence for Bruce Partridge,
second President of the University. It served its original purpose for less than two years; since
1972, it has received several minor alterations in being adapted to a variety of functions. For
the greater part of its history, it has been used as a short-term residence for distinguished
visitors to campus, including many Lansdowne lecturers.
