Black and white photographic image of white house and group of people posing in front with sign saying "SEVEY BOARDING HOUSE." Sevey Boarding House and Annex was one of many early boarding houses that surrounded the Normal School. Until the establishment of dormitories and residence halls in the 1930s, most students would reside in these local boarding houses. Students would pay homes like Sevey $15–18 a month for food and accommodations. Located at 626 N. Cedar Street, Sevey Boarding House began operations in 1904, becoming one of twelve all-female boarding houses established by 1926. Over 1,600 young women resided at Sevey Boarding House during their time at the Normal School. Sevey Boarding House was eventually demolished; the Academic Services Building now resides in its former location. <br> Front text: G.K. Miller, San Marcos, Texas
