Myles Annex

Myles Annex is a small Boston University coeducational dormitory, which is located in Kenmore Square at 632 Beacon Street. The building is generally considered part of the larger Myles Standish Hall to which it is adjacent (thus its name). Access is obtained by entering Myles Standish Hall and passing through a connecting hallway on the second floor. The Annex has a game room and several group study lounges located in the basement. The Annex is often referred to pejoratively as "The Mannex" due to claims of a high male-to-female ratio. There is a friendly rivalry between the residents of Myles Annex and the residents of "Myles Proper" or "Real Myles."

History

Built in 1920 by the architectural firm of Bellows and Aldrich, the Classical Revival limestone building originally served as the headquarters of the Lumberman’s Mutual Fire Company. Despite its current subjugation as an annex of the neighboring Myles dormitory, the Annex actually predates Myles by five years.

The building was eventually purchased in May 1965 by the Cambridge School of Business renamed in later years as Grahm Junior College (1). While in the hands of Grahm, it was utilized as administrative office space, classrooms and as the location of the College’s television and radio production studios.

Myles

In Greek mythology, Myles (Greek: Μύλης) was an ancient King of Laconia. He was a son of the King Lelex and Queen Cleocharia and brother to Polycaon, and was the father of Eurotas who fathered Sparta after whom the city of Sparta was named. After his father died, Myles ruled over Laconia. Following his own death, his son Eurotas succeeded him.
