The theater traces its roots back to the Cabot Experimental Theater in the 1960s. More than serving merely as the House cafeteria, the Dining Hall is the center of House activity. Aside from being the site of hours-long, social dinners, each evening the Dining Hall fills with students who work together on problem sets and projects for various subjects. The House colors, red and gold, are derived from the House shield; black, one of Radcliffe's colors, is an unofficial color, featured in much House apparel.

Robert Bendetson, the CEO, grew up working alongside his father Norris and learned the business from the bottom up. Commitment and work ethic, persistence and resilience, were ingrained in him at a young age. He fondly tells the story of delivering furniture with his cousin in an open truck. When they didn’t have a rope, they were resourceful and held the furniture with their arms.

Cabot House Stein Club is the Junior Common Room beer-appreciation society to which every member of the Junior Common Room (that is, all House residents) automatically belongs. Every other Thursday evening throughout the school year, Stein Club meets in one of Cabot's six Living Rooms, usually in Briggs or Barnard Hall, or in the dining hall. At each meeting, students socialize over various types of ale, purchased by the House Committee. Each year, ceramic steins are ordered which bear the House insignia and the name of the owner. Stein Club attendance is very high in Cabot; tutors and the Faculty Dean are also known to attend for a beer and fraternization.

We are a multigenerational family-owned luxury furniture retailer with showrooms in Massachusetts, Maine, Rhode Island and Florida. In 1912, Robert’s great-grandfather opened a small furniture store in Haverhill, Massachusetts. His son William and William’s wife Rose worked in the store for several years before opening their own retail furniture store known as Boston Furniture Company. Their son Norris worked with his parents at the family’s store until he was called to serve in World War II. When he returned from the service, he assumed responsibility for managing Boston Furniture Company. In 1971 Norris expanded the business with additional locations to accommodate a growing customer base and renamed the company Cabot House.
Cabot House (originally named South House) was formed in 1970 when East House and the original South House were merged.
