Ashdown is the second-oldest graduate residence in the United States. Since its conversion form a hotel in 1938, Ashdown has been considered to be the cultural center of the MIT graduate community. It is the only MIT graduate residence that provides affordable housing options within a very active community, and consists of many international students.
Ashdown once boasted a dining program that was very popular among graduate students and faculty. This program was shut down in the 1970s because MIT built a new dining hall in its student center. However, to date, no dining program at MIT has been as successful as the one that was once hosted in Ashdown.
The basement of Ashdown is the location of the popular Thirsty Ear Pub.
The MIT administration has attempted to convert Ashdown into an undergraduate residence no less than 6 times over the past 50 years. These efforts were rebuked by the MIT graduate student body. These efforts are reflected in a variety of media: "Godzilla versus Ashdown" posters in the 1980s (where the former represented the MIT administration) and a large "Save Ashdown" sign in 2002. For the Japanese films series see Godzilla (film series). ...
