The President's House was built in 1953 and served as the primary residence for every University of Florida president until 2006, when President Bernie Machen chose to relocate to a private residence off campus. It was replaced in 2015 with the Dasburg House which is the current residence of the President of UF. It was re-named Earl and Christy Powell University House. [1] [2] [3] The facility now is open to UF organizations and groups that want to entertain, meet or hold a retreat there. [4]
