Excerpt from Brown Alumni Monthly, Vol. 92: December 1991/January 1992 For two years at Brown, I lived in Dyer House, a small house on Power Street next to Perkins Hall. Dyer House used to be the residence of Governor Dyer of Rhode Island, and many of the old rooms were still distinguishable. For example, one year I lived in the master bedroom, my friend Carolyn lived in the old nursery, while another friend lived in what appeared to be the nurse's quarters. Dyer House was the home of about fourteen students participating in the German language house. The members of German house served the Brown community through weekly German coffee hours (kaffeestunde), seasonal concerts, and typical lectures and films. But more importantly, Dyer House was our home. Admittedly, there were many problems associated with a house built in the 18005 rotting wood, leaking roof, etc. In fact, we students called about these problems regularly, only to have Plant Operations patch a large problem with a small band-aid.
