Keep Cottage
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Keep Cottage, also known as Keep Cooperative is an 1839 post-Victorian tudor revival mansion owned and maintained by Oberlin College in Oberlin, Ohio, United States. Originally home to the Reverend John Keep, the house underwent a serious renovation in 1911 in order to transform it into a college dormitory.[1] In 1965, it is a rental property of Oberlin Student Cooperative Association, the second largest student cooperative in the United States.[2] It is named after its primary trustee, the reverend John Keep, an abolitionist who cast the deciding vote that let African-American students attend Oberlin College, the first institution to do so.[3]
