Favorite party houses at MU

[ZiggysFryBoy]

spinning off of the closed bar topic and seeing Lighthouse's post about their house being listed as a drinking establishment, what were some of the great party houses?

1996-2000

Warrior House 19th and Kilbourn
Phi Kaps muddy basement, complete with Colt 45 in cans
2020 Clybourn
Delta Chi the old house
Pirate House 22nd & Michigan

I know I'm missing a few more on the eastern end of campus.

Funny how I went to MU the same years 1996-2001 and I only have recollection of two of those locations (2020 Clybourn, Warrior House/19th and Kilbourn).  
How about:
-The Tool Box (14th St north of Kilbourn)
-Blue/Red/Grey/Black Door Row Houses (13th St between Kilbourn and State)
-Bath House (1435 Kilbourn... shared back yard w/ some Engineering frat)- we used to a 4th floor roof patio before Cedar Square properties rehabbed it. 
-The Shady House (between 19th and 20th and Kilbourn)

What I realize is that every generation/class has different names for what some of the houses are called.  For example... The Rugby house existed at 4 different places in 4 years (which is good because it keeps Public Safety off our ass temporarily).  
What houses names have stood the test of time?

[Lighthouse 84]

Ones I remember from the early 80's-Lighthouse, Budhouse, Pleasure Palace, Yellow House, Blue House and the Row Houses.  It doesn't sound like any of them held up.  I know the Lighthouse went the way of a parking lot....

I attended from 95-00. The best party houses at the time were the Monkey Cage on 18th and Kilbourn and the basement parties at Maryland Courts.

I might have lived in the Pirate House in 87-88.    Next door to a frat, the name of which escapes me.

[flash]

917 14th street Row house from 2010-2012 threw some pretty awesome parties.

939 15th St.  00-04

How about best/worst landlord:


Worst:

Chris Ganos (all his houses had red doors).  When we moved into our place at 18th and the alley before State junior year, the heat was not turned on because the gas company wouldn't to it.  Chris:   "no worry guys- I just turn it on."

guy who owned Dahmer's place (just on principle)


Best:

Guy who owned the Red House (I think his name was Mike- we called him Soupy - don't ask) where we lived senior year (5 units for six or seven people, only one for boys on the ground floor; our place was a dive, but the girls all had nice places)

Richie and Pauly

Hegarty

And then there was that woman - Starr?  she owned Strack and/or the Rowhouses?


Lots of Characters

Lived in the original Strack - Apartment Z.  Apartments were good, rents were reasonable, but I got charged for a bunch of nail holes I didn't even put in the walls because the guys before us had used toothpaste to spackle them, and it fell out.

Probably used Aquafresh or Sensodyne. Shoulda patched those suckers with Colgate or Crest and you woulda been golden.

I don't recall an exact name or address at 19th & Kilbourn (Warrior house?) but I found it ironic that upon driving past with my daughter while announcing that I'd been to TONS of parties at that particular property 30 years ago her response was 'Me too!'.  Well played honey.

Legs, too funny.

Rented from Ms. Starr one year and Ganos one year.  Couple of funny stories about both places.....

In the Ms Starr house (her name was Brenda), one night some one was working the window in the unit next to ours, which was rented by girls. The window was next to my bedroom window.  Turns out it was Crazy Mary's window.  Yes that Crazy Mary. Yes, the one who got kicked out of Dental school for dancing at Ricky's on amateur  night.  Cops called.  Big too do.  Turns out, it was someone looking for some "oral hygiene" from Mary.  

At our 20th, 3 of us, plus our non MU wives, drove by the Swamp, and decided to go in...door was open.  Told a student that we lived there back in the day.  He gave us a full tour of the living accommodations on the first floor and the basement. Pretty sure, we never went to the basement when we were there for hygienic reasons. Gotta hand it to Ganos for his creativity.  After that, we were escorted to the second floor, where a party was going on.  We were treated like royalty.  One of the second floor residents and pulled out his.....keg of Lakeisde (you thought I was going to say bong) that he was saving for later in the night.  We swilled beer, did beer bongs with the youngsters, and were treated like rock stars by our now fellow MU alum.

Back to the Ms. Starr house.  A gal I knew back in the day, sent me an e-mail this fall of the house her son was moving into.  It was "my" Ms. Starr house.  I'm guessin' that her son has no idea that his mom spent a few......

I find it amazing that many of the houses still exist and still have the same reputations.

Given the cleaning habits of most of the landlord's, its probaly a good thing that he doesn't know that some of his mom and Chili's DNA probably is still imbedded in a nook and cranny or two of his room. 

Crazy Mary- holy cr@p!!

Most creative Ganos thing was our basement - go down the stairs, walk over an old dirt floor to a "room" he placed on a thin slab of concrete with a toilet that didn't work.  Got one more tenant that way.

Hmmmm.....maybe the PIG house?

[Jay Bee]

ZFB spent his time at the frat houses? I suppose that makes sense.

When I go back to Campus Town and walk into the old apartments I usually tell the current residents some of the things we did in there back in the day. Probably shouldn't.

I think I remember some pretty good times in the renee row courtyard

[swoopem]

2028 W Michigan the house with the huge deck. To me it's the best summer house on campus

[BubbaWilliams]

2028 was a good time in the summer. 821 17th (big blue house) had a great yard/location

[BobWildLoyalist]

Those kids at 2028 with the huge deck used to rage and just clean up vagina. Wonder if everyone is still alive from there CC: Nilo

[dwaderoy2004]

The worst landlord was Ray Gastrow.

During my time at MU (98-02), I don't think I knew the name of any on-campus house. Did they even go by names then? As underclassmen, we'd just hear that there was a party at such-and-such address and we'd go.

+1
The tool box is the only house with a name I remember.

19th and Kilbourn was usually a safe bet.

For sure.  Maybe you just didnt party that much!

Could be. I had my older brother's ID so we spent a lot of time partying in Schroeder. No need to go out chasing girls when a 30-pack of Miller Lite will bring them literally to your bedroom
