Sadleir House is a Trent University associated Student center constructed piecemeal by several owners of the property. The street facing portion was constructed in 1892 by J.C. Rutherford for his brother in law, James Kendry who sold the house to James Robert Stratton in 1902. In 1905 Stratton had a coach house constructed at the rear of the original structure to house his horses and carriage collection. The original structure was connected to the coach house in 1965, two years after the purchase of the house by Trent University, by architect Ronald Thom during the transformation of the property to serve as a college residence to the newly created Symons campus.
After the 1963 purchase of the property by Trent University the house served as the main building of the Peter Robinson college, one of three main colleges at the time, and the men's residence for students attending the university, until 1999 when Trent University announced plans to close the house alongside the Catherine Parr Traill college. The two colleges were both sold to the Moloney Project Development Group in 2002, a year after which the student body of Trent University voted to establish a levy to support a “non-profit, cultural and educational student facility,” operating out of Peter Robinson College.
