Carriage House holds numerous memories for us all! If you care to share, please post your photos from Carriage and year the photo was taken, in the comments!

Circa 1971. A group of lovely IUP students gathered for a photo at the Carriage House, a longtime off-campus student apartment community near IUP. It was close enough that students could walk to campus in less than 10 minutes. Thank you to Nancy (Dunlap) Collette ’72 for sharing this photo with us.
