Professor John F. Jameson, commemorated by Jameson House, taught history at Brown from 1888 to 1901. He later became the head of the history department at the University of Chicago, and Director of the Department of Historical Research of the Carnegie Institution in Washington, D.C. In 2013, Keeney Quad was fully renovated and existing houses were combined creating Jameson-Mead. Renovations added elevators, accessible bathrooms and top floor lounges, upgraded lighting and various amenities.

Rooms are pretty decent; my double is pretty well-sized compared to others and has two closets. It can get kinda chaotic here sometimes, but I guess that says more about the occupants than the actual building. The bathroom situation is alright; there's some mold in a lot of the showers but if you know which ones to use (hint: try the basement) they're not bad. (Seriously, the only shower with a disposable showerhead that's clean enough to be worth using is in the basement, at least at the time of writing.) Maybe I take showers at odd times, but I've never really had a problem with the toilets/showers-to-people ratio. The upstairs lounge is pretty decent; I've seen more interesting-looking lounges, but can't complain about the Jounge either. All laundry machines are in the basement-they break pretty frequently, but that's probably a universal experience. Eight washers and eight dryers for everyone. There's also smaller lounges throughout the building that are pretty decent spots to go on a Zoom call when your roommate is studying or what have you. Location-wise James-Mead is also pretty good. It's close to the Ratty and as close as freshman dorms get to Jo's, which isn't far, although getting to Andrews is a bit annoying. It's also pretty close to the Main Green-not to mention it facilitates my frequent visits to Wickenden Street. Keeney is also right across from the Stonewall House and the Sarah Doyle Center-take note!! Great places to study, lots of free food events, and less than a minute from your dorm. For any musicians out there (hi future James-Mead bandies!!), the walk to the music district is about as convenient as it can get while still keeping you in proximity of everything else. Overall, I think I'm happy with my room assignment. Obviously I wish I had a sink in my room like the people in Andrews, but I haven't really had issues with rooming here. Just, y'know, be aware that unlike the Em-Wool rooms, the doors lock behind you, whether the keys are in your pocket or not!
