The
Rise of Lothlorien
Lothlorien is a
historic structure built in 1915 --one of the first 2 buildings on
our stretch of Lake Mendota. In its 90+ year history, Loth has been
a fraternity,a women's dormitory, an army barracks, & now our
dear Loth co-op.
Since our founding in
1973, Lothlorien Co-op has striven to provide a welcoming &
supportive atmosphere for people of all ages, sexes, races and
sexual orientations. Many of our housemembers are politically active
in queer rights, labor rights, environmental & feminist
movements, & our home is an open resource to activist groups
like: Food Not Bombs, Stop the War, Radical Cheerleaders, & the
Madison Art Collective. We often host benefit concerts, fiestas,
coffeehouses, & other events providing the city of Madison w/
good times. Based in egalitarian ideals, house decisions are made
through modified consensus at weekly house meetings.
