The comment period has expired.<> Britton Haddon Memorial Building 1932 Adams & Prentice. YORK202. Yale Daily News. York St. 202 <> Stone carving over the main entrance. The strange [Gothic?] letter at far left is the "E" in Yale, thus the "DA..." is the beginning of "DAILY", which culminates on the right side of the bronze lantern as "...ILY", (with an ancient oil lamp to balance the sports equipment we see here).
That's correct! This one was a tough one for the folks on Facebook, but I had no doubt you would get it.
