Yale's Lost Landmarks

March 2001 -- Special Tercentennial Edition
From
Connecticut Hall to the Center for British Art, the Yale campus
is a living museum of American architecture. But to make way for
the Yale of today, scores of buildings were demolished over
the past three centuries. The Old Brick Row that so influenced American
collegiate architecture fell to the dark but exuberant architecture
of the Victorian age. Many of those buildings, in turn, were sacrificed
within 50 years of their completion for the Collegiate Gothic of
James Gamble Rogers's Yale. Here are some of the most notable Yale
landmarks that are no longer with us.
