Pforzheimer House

Pforzheimer House, nicknamed Pfoho (FOE-hoe) and formerly named North House, is one of twelve undergraduate residential Houses at Harvard University. It was named in 1995 for Carol K. and Carl Howard Pforzheimer Jr, major University and Radcliffe College benefactors, and their family.

Located in the Radcliffe Quadrangle, Pforzheimer House comprises Ada Louise Comstock, Daniel Henry Holmes, Mary Buckminster Moors, and Wolbach Halls, in addition to Faculty Row and the Jordan North and South buildings. Pforzheimer is known for having strong house community and one of the highest transfer-in rates of any Harvard House.

Pforzheimer House's shield features black and crimson squares on a crimson and black field; its mascot is the polar bear. The current faculty deans are Erica Chenoweth and Zoe Marks.
