“Stefan T. Vail Cooperative House, founded in 1960, is located at 602 Lawrence Street. Before it was a coop, it was already recognized as an historical building, having been constructed in 1853. It is one of two known adobe buildings in Ann Arbor.

Vail House was named for Stefan T. Vail (or Stephanos Valavanis), who was an ICC member and president in the mid-1950s. While at the University of Michigan, Vail helped to devise the financial structure of the ICC. After having earned his doctorate in economics, Vail was an assistant professor of economics at Harvard University. In 1958, while camping in Greece, Vail was shot and killed by an army officer who mistook him for a deserter.”
