Rochdale Cooperative was founded in 1936 alongside Shoemaker Cooperative, with support from R.B. Stewart, as part of the creation of the Purdue Student Housing Corporation. Together, these houses helped establish cooperative housing at Purdue University - an effort inspired by Rochdale, England, where the cooperative started in the 19th century.
More than 700 men called Rochdale home between 1936 and 1998. The house operated at its original location on Waldron Street until 1968, then moved to the large residence known as Shotstone Manor on Northwestern Avenue until 1998. Stewart Cooperative resides in the structure today.

Celebrate 90 years of Rochdale Cooperative House with a relaxed alumni reunion in Lafayette. The main event is a casual Saturday afternoon and evening gathering with dinner, music, and plenty of time to reconnect. Informal, optional activities are planned throughout the weekend for those making a longer visit.
The main reunion takes place on Saturday, August 8. Optional Friday and Sunday plans will be finalized based on interest and volunteer organizers. Updates will be shared on www.rochdalealumni.org, via email and on Facebook.rochdalealumni.org as the event approaches.
