About Miles Davis
Miles Davis is one of the smallest co-ops—we only have 6 people! Our house is neat and homey. Since we’re so small, we’re a relatively quiet house, and you can find people downstairs doing homework most weeknights. But we also love house bonding! Since there are only a few of us, it’s easy for us to all spend time together and really get to know each other. We embrace creativity and self-expression, but we also have a competitive side. Our goal is to be a home for all our members.
Miles Davis House Constitution
Built in the 1930s, 152 Collingwood had passed through many hands until SHC purchased it in 1976. Originally a part of Hedrick for ten years, the house was later associated with 146 Collingwood, called Key Largo (now Ferency), giving the house an understandable identity crisis. Maintenance problems made vacancies a chief concern until the Asher Christian Scientists who had left Elsworth House moved into Miles Davis and made it one of SHC’s best properties. In 1991 they moved on, and the house was reopened as an SHC co-op named after jazz great Miles Davis.
In 2010, our vice president of maintenance began restoring the house to it original glory, piece by piece. The entire house now boasts beautifully restored 1920s hardwood where ancient carpet once lay. Gutting and dehumidifying the basement along with an overhaul of heating and ventilation systems and some new paint rendered Miles Davis a shining example of cooperative ownership, stewardship, and do-it-yourself-ism.
Other Miles Davis alumni have contributed by making cups and bowls, house artwork, and a bar, which now resides at New Community, a more congenial place for the fine piece of co-op craftsmanship.
