Mining millionaire, businessman, 和赌博正规的十大网站的长期受托人威廉·伦诺克斯在1900年建造了这座优雅的传教复兴风格的房子. 伦诺克斯是苏格兰移民的孩子，1850年出生于爱荷华州，并在那里上了大学. After his parents moved to the Colorado Springs vicinity in 1872, 伦诺克斯来到西部，花了几个月的时间在费尔普雷斯附近勘探和采矿. He then started a feed and livery business in fledgling Colorado Springs. In 1874, Lennox became the agent for the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad's coal yard in Colorado Springs. He and a brother bought a coal and transfer business two years later, 作为铁路的代理商，后来又代表了科罗拉多煤铁公司和科罗拉多燃料公司. After acquiring his brother's interest in the business, Lennox became the largest coal dealer in El Paso County. At the same time, he continued to invest in mountain mining properties, a pursuit that ultimately yielded tremendous rewards. In 1891, 伦诺克斯买下了罗伯特·沃马克在跛子溪地区的埃尔帕索金矿, 他成为金王矿业公司和斯特朗矿业公司的大股东.
While Cripple Creek provided Lennox with a fortune, he also pursued other diverse interests, 包括担任科罗拉多斯普林斯交易所国家银行行长，以及在德克萨斯州经营大型养牛场. 在1900年的一篇公报文章中，他被描述为“科罗拉多斯普林斯商界引人注目的成功之一”, 伦诺克斯大力推广城市，是商会和迈伦斯特拉顿之家的董事会成员. 他在赌博正规的十大网站的工作包括从1901年到1936年去世期间担任受托人.
伦诺克斯用他的一些矿业财富在正在发展的大学校园对面建造了这座住宅. Constructed for the then-significant sum of $50,000, the house was described by the Colorado Springs Gazette as "magnificent." The newspaper observed, “看过这些计划的人，能够在这些事情上发表权威言论的人，会毫不犹豫地说，目前在科罗拉多斯普林斯，无论是完工的还是在建的，都没有一处住宅能与奥巴马先生相提并论. Lennox's home."
Denver architect Frederick J. 坚强 designed the house for Lennox. 坚强, who worked in Colorado for two decades, 16岁时从英国来到美国，在纽约学习建筑. By 1882, he was a draftsman in the Denver office of Frank E.

Although little new construction took place on campus during the 1930s, 学院通过捐赠和购买校园附近的几所大房子来扩大其设施，比如伦诺克斯房子. These developments were later described as "The Growth That Nobody Saw."
在获得伦诺克斯住宅后，学院聘请了当地建筑师爱德华·L. 他们花了4万美元对住宅进行了改造和翻新，将其用作学生中心. 新设施于1937年9月开放，为学生和教师提供茶点, followed by a dance with orchestral music. Before acquisition of the house, 在广场酒店的穆雷毒品店的摊位是学生社交生活的非正式中心. Lennox House满足了学生在宿舍外聚集的中心位置的需求，并提供了一个学院用餐的环境, recreation, and social gatherings.
