Our Home
The current residence of Steel House is located at 620 Idaho Ave. It's a five-story building set up as follows:
1st floor (sub-basement): This floor contains a trunk room, laundry room and TV room. It's a great place to hang out and watch the many options offered through cable TV while doing laundry. There's no need to rent a storage unit as there's ample storage for bikes, bins, and extra items only needed once in awhile. The laundry facilities are free!
2nd floor (basement): This floor contains a pool table and study area, along with three "day rooms" where residents keep their personal belongings. In addition, there's a small half-bath that's shared with guests. The study room is set up for residents to have a quiet place away from their room to study. Steel House is set up with wireless Internet through the University of Idaho.Take your computer or laptop to any place in the house and "surf the net" while doing homework. Grab a bite to eat out of the fridge while you study.
Off the back of the house, there's a door that leads to a very large deck with a BBQ grill for those warm days! Sun yourself or sit and enjoy the view of Moscow Mountain. In addition, there are twelve parking spaces belonging to Steel House in the parking lot below the house.
Main floor: This level of the house contains the formal living room, dining room, kitchen and the president's room. It's the coziest area of the house where on a cold winter's night, you can sit by the gas fire and sip a cup of warm hot chocolate while listening to someone play the piano; and yet another resident is making cookies in the kitchen.
4th floor: This level contains "day rooms" and the main bathroom that's shared by all the residents. Each room is different from another. No two rooms are alike, making them each unique. Several single rooms are available in addition to the usual "doubles" that are shared by two residents.
5th floor: The entire floor is devoted to sleeping. 24-hours a day, 7 days a week, you can come to your bed, crawl in and sleep without the worry of those around bothering you. The "sleeping porch" arrangement is typical of all sororities and fraternities on the U of I campus. However, if a resident prefers to sleep in her room, there are a couple of rooms that are large enough for a bed too. Most residents find the porches more appealing because of the 24-hour quiet.
