Family Donates Historic House

The gift of an historic house across the street from Coburn Hall on UML South could some provide a home for one of many University entities looking for more space on campus. The 103-year-old house was given to the University by Lowell native Paul Desmarais and his wife, Linda, as a tribute to Paul’s late aunt, Berthe Desmarais, a Lowell high school teacher who lived there most of her life. Fittingly, the lifelong educator’s bedroom window overlooked Coburn Hall, the original home of the Normal School.
