On College Hill, over 150 properties have been purchased by Lafayette College, effectively expanding the borders of the College. Properties owned by the College are colored red. The yellow area denotes the traditional acreage of the College. 

Recently, Lafayette College demolished a row of historic old homes along McCartney Street to build a new dormitory. There are no laws which currently prevent the College from demolishing more homes.
