Overview
The Townhouses are a compilation of five townhome-style buildings. The townhouses feature two types of units — two-story townhouses and single-level apartments. Students are issued an exterior and room key to their assigned townhouse unit. Each townhouse is named after a former Lynchburg president:
- Rainsford House: One of the first three townhouses constructed on the University campus and dedicated on September 26, 2003, in honor of George N. Rainsford ’93 DHL, eighth president of the University of Lynchburg from 1983-1993.
- Brewer House: Second of the first three townhouses and named in honor of Dr. M. Carey Brewer ’49, ’85 LLD, seventh president of the University of Lynchburg from 1964-1983.
- Warren House: Third of the first three townhouses and dedicated in honor of Dr. Charles O Warren ’01 DHL, ninth president of the University of Lynchburg from 1993-01.
- Bullard House: Named and dedicated in Fall 2004 in memory of the Rev. Frank Fontaine Bullard,1857-1909, who was instrumental in bringing Dr. Josephus Hopwood to Lynchburg to interest him in establishing a Disciples’ college. He was also one of the original donors whose gift helped to purchase the Westover Hotel, the first building of the College.
