Current Use
The Welland House re-opened in 1994 as a restaurant (Average Joe's) and student residence. Although Average Joe's has since closed, the Welland House remains a student residence. Known as the "Downtown Student Residence", or DSR, many of the residents are students attending Brock University or Niagara College. The building has become the home of CFBU-FM, Brock University's campus radio station.
In the Summer of 2007, major interior renovations were made in various rooms. Some rooms received new flooring, bathroom fixtures, ceiling lights, wet and dry kitchenettes, and new paint. Renovations continue on the DSR's main lobby and exterior facade.

Famous quotes containing the word current:
“What in fact have I achieved, however much it may seem? Bits and pieces ... trivialities. But here they won’t tolerate anything else, or anything more. If I wanted to take one step in advance of the current views and opinions of the day, that would put paid to any power I have. Do you know what we are ... those of us who count as pillars of society? We are society’s tools, neither more nor less.”
—Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906)
“Through this broad street, restless ever,
Ebbs and flows a human tide,
Wave on wave a living river;
Wealth and fashion side by side;
Toiler, idler, slave and master, in the same quick current glide.”
—John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)
