Bond House, built in 1891, is named for Dr. Horace Mann Bond ’23, the first African American and alumni president of the university. Bond, a leading sociologist who provided research for the landmark Brown v. Board of Education case, was also the father of the late Julian Bond, noted civil rights leader. Originally a residence for professors, the home was converted to a dormitory for women in 1971. The house is currently offline.
