The Alumni House, formerly known as the Kenwood Conference and Alumni Center, was purchased in 1949 by the Milwaukee State Teachers College for $80,000. The English Tudor mansion, on 3.9 acres on the lake bluff at the end of Kenwood Boulevard, was built for Mrs. Myron T. MacLaren. The building was used as a women's dormitory until July, 1964, when it was converted to a conference center. The building also housed the Center for Great Lakes Studies (1966 to 1974) and the Office of Continuing Education for Adults (1969 to 1975). It currently houses offices for Development and Alumni Relations and the UWM Foundation.
