548 W. 113th St is a brownstone residence hall located on 113th Street between Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue. The building was originally owned by University Apartment Housing, but was purchased by Housing Services in 2009 to house undergraduate students from Columbia College and SEAS.

For its inaugural year, the building was home to new transfer students who were assigned over the summer. However, in spring 2010, the building became the only brownstone available to pick during room selection, allowing juniors to pick into the spacious studio doubles that much resemble those of Watt Hall. Much talk has been made in the past year as to whether or not the building will become part of the fraternity and sorority housing system in following years.
