In 1940, the University purchased the house located on 337 South Sixth Street, on the corner of Taylor and South Sixth Streets from Christian Van Gundy for $9,900,00. The house was remodeled as a dormitory for fifteen women and a resident hostess. It became the first Spanish House, a dormitory for women interested in Spanish. It was named in honor of Eveline Stanton Gundy, Class of 1890, who was the first Dean of Women at Bucknell, 1897-1904, and who married Dr. Charles A. Gundy, Class of 1893, one of the physicians who set up the pre-med course at the University. In 1964, Gundy House was razed to make way for Vedder Hall.

Eveline Judith Stanton graduated from Keystone Academy when John Howard Harris was the principal. She entered Bucknell University in 1887 and graduated in three years in 1890. After graduation she taught for three years in Keystone Academy and for two years at Edinboro State Normal School. She was Dean of The College Women from 1897 until she married Dr. Gundy in 1904. In 1921, the Bucknell Alumnae Club of Philadelphia recommended Mrs. Gundiy as a candidate to fill one of the vacances on the Board of Trustees, which prompted the Trustees to appoint a committee "...to consider the advisability of enlarging the Board of Trustees and electing certain women Trustees."
