Giddings House
Giddings House, located on Hope Street, is the home of the Anthropology Department. Built in 1908, it is named for J. Louis Giddings, a respected Arctic archaeologist, who taught at Brown from 1956 to 1964 and was a Director of the Haffenreffer Museum. The building has faculty and teaching assistant offices, classrooms, a small library, and other facilities. The Giddings House garden serves as an unofficial outdoor classroom and social space; it is also where the Department’s diploma ceremony is held at commencement. Archaeology facilities include the Metcalf Archaeology Laboratory, used for teaching and research, and the Carriage House Archaeology Laboratory, which provides temporary work and storage space for student projects.
