  Lowell House - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lowell House is one of the twelve undergraduate residential houses at Harvard University for sophomores, juniors, and seniors.
Lowell House is home to a number of curious and longstanding traditions, including Thursday Teas at the Masters' Residence, a May Day Waltz at dawn on Weeks Footbridge, a yearly opera held in the dining hall, and the annual playing of the 1812 Overture in the House courtyard during Arts First weekend.
When Lowell House was built, Crane gave the set of 18 bells as a gift (only 17 are in the House today; the 18th was thought to be too close in tone to one of the others, and it now hangs in the tower of Harvard Business School's Baker Library).
