Dravo House is home to 258 first-year students. The Residence Hall, located at the south end of Taylor Street, bears the name of two brothers, Ralph M. Dravo, Class of 1889, and Francis F. Dravo, Class of 1887, who founded the Dravo Corp., a Pittsburgh-based international construction company. Dravo is the tallest traditional residential building on campus. In 1988, an addition was built to provide lounge space on the ground floor. There is an underground stream that runs between Drinker and Dravo.
