The College of the Holy Cross has acquired an historic home, Hughes House, from Worcester Polytechnic Institute to use as the president’s residence for Vincent Rougeau and the college’s future presidents.
Rougeau, who started on July 1, is the first person who is not an ordained priest to serve at the Holy Cross president. He is also the college’s first Black president.
With his appointment, the Worcester college wanted to have a residence that Rougeau, and future presidents, could live within the Worcester community, said Daniel Ricciardi, Holy Cross associate vice president for investments and institutional resources.
The Hughes House mansion has 4,588 square feet of living area and was last assessed by the City of Worcester at $2 million.
The sale from WPI to Holy Cross was completed on May 26 for $800,000, according to the Worcester Registry of Deeds.
Can someone please explain why the street address isn't listed in the story??
