Hedrick House History 

 

Established in 1939 at 405 Abbot Road, Hedrick is the oldest student Cooperative in East Lansing. It was named after Wilbur O. Hedrick, a professor at Michigan State College and pioneer of East Lansing Co-ops.

In 1954, Hedrick burned down while the Spartans were playing in the Rose Bowl. Later, a new house was built by June 1956 at 140 Collingwood. The "Hedrick Empire" eventually extended to 146 Collingwood (now Ferency), and 152 Collingwood (now Miles).

Members of Hedrick were instrumental in establishing new student Co-ops in East Lansing, and were among the first to support the establishment of the Student Housing Corporation in 1969. Hedrick is the oldest student owned cooperative in the country.
