the history of stewart
1958
Purdue's existing men's Christian cooperative house, Fairway, was established (now known as BYX).
1986
With the idea partly fueled by Fairway, Purdue student Stephanie Smith proposed the idea for a women's Christian cooperative house and became a reality when she discovered the recently dissolved Sherman Cooperative.
The original Victorian-style house is on 131 Pierce Street, named after Purdue Vice President R.B. Stewart and his wife Mary.
1999
Purdue informed Stewart of their plans for a new Krannert school of management facility, Stewart moved to the residence we have now across Mackey Arena. Formerly known as Rochdale Cooperative, we have a stately castle-like structure, a spacious front patio and a beautiful great room situated at the entrance of Purdue's campus. Stewart is a place of warmth, beauty, and invitation.
