Iowa State College takes possession of Pammel Court Item Info

On September 1st, 1948, the federal government, which had subsidized Pammel Court's housing and furniture since 1946, turned over the housing project to Iowa State College. From that date forward, Iowa State would keep the revenue generated from married student housing. The initial housing subsidy by the federal government left the college with a large-scale revenue generating device in Pammel Court. Without having to incur the construction costs of providing married housing, the school could invest its resources elsewhere on campus.
