Originally named "Duplex C", the Andrews-Richards House was built in 1955-1956 and was used to help home economic students learn how to manage their time, money and other resources to become good homemakers.
"Duplex C" was renamed "Richards House" in 1957 for Ellen H. Richards who was the first president of the American Home Economics Association (AHEA). In 1962 the east side kept the name "Richards", while the west side was named for Benjamin R. Andrews, an editor for the AHEA in the early 1900’s. The building is now named "Andrews-Richards House."
