1971/1972, 1976-1979, 1983 - Present
Like other interest houses, Casa Del Sol has existed on and off since the 1970s under a number of different names and in different locations. A Spanish language interest house has also been a common campus feature since the 1970s focusing on Spanish language immersion and sometimes, in partnership with LASO, creating a cultural space for Latin American students on campus. In 1994/1995, a cultural house was established under the name "La Raza" while the Spanish language house continued to exist separately. Since then the house has changed its name to La Casa Del Sol or just Casa, and the language portion was moved into Parish House with other language programs. With the most recent Student Life and Housing Plan including the demolition of Hunt Cottage, Casa Del Sol is temporarily moving into Stimson House for the 2023/24 school year before settling into a brand new house sometime in the mid-2020s.
