Built in 1825, the David Dudley House is a 7,000 square foot, three-story, Federal
style building on 2.37 acres. It is located on RCC’s campus and within the Roxbury
Heights Historic District listed on the Massachusetts State Register of Historic Places.
The house was a private home for the Dudley family for almost 65 years before being
turned over to the Archdiocese of Boston in the late 1800s and to nonprofit educational
and human service uses in 1970. It is currently vacant and in significant disrepair.
RCC seeks to restore the exterior of the building in keeping with its original time
period and retain as much of the historic interior as possible, while transforming
the building into the Center for Economic and Social Justice.
