A New Life for Edgehill Mansion

heritageHouse.jpg

Constructed in 1887, Edgehill is Dominican University of California's oldest surviving structure, and it holds special memories for Dominican alumni. On November 1, 2007, the Board of Trustees voted unanimously to transform Edgehill mansion into the Dominican Heritage and Alumni House with the St. Catherine Benincasa Chapel as the centerpiece of this project.

Renovation commenced in June 2009 and is expected to be completed by December 2010.
