Having outgrown their former residence, the members of the Sigma Chi fraternity at Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsyvania purchased the former residence of Charles Berg at 41 South College Street for $32,000. This price included the cost of alterations to the building. Here they resided until the house was purchased by Dickinson College on June 23, 1964; the fraternity then moved to Quad 4 (now Baird Hall) in the Fraternity Quadrangle.

The building became known as the Todd House, so named for Mr. and Mrs. Glenn E. Todd who donated a $100,000 annuity to the College. The house served as a residence for women students for ten years before becoming a coed dormitory in 1974. The Todd House, with its relatively large capacity, has also housed various fraternities, campus organizations, and Student Developed Learning Communities over the years.
