The residence takes its name from a prominent Boston family and displays red and gold colors that reflect its heritage. The community shares a motto that expresses the bonds between its residents.
The entire complex is connected by underground tunnels, allowing residents to move between buildings without stepping outside. This proves especially useful during harsh winter months when outdoor conditions become difficult.
