About Brooks House
Brooks House was named for Captain Belvidere Brooks, class of 1910, who was killed in action at Villesavoye, France, in 1918. During his time at Williams, Brooks was a DKE, captain of the football team, and a Gargoyle. Originally home to the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity, Brooks now houses both students and, in the summer months, the Conference Office. Located between Spencer and Weston, Brooks houses upperclass students in four single and 12 double rooms on two floors with a spacious basement common room and kitchen. Brooks is part of the Spencer Neighborhood.
