In 1835 John North purchased a lot running from Whitney through to Hillhouse Avenue. The house he built, both in design and spirit, belonged to the Hillhouse-Whitney development that took place at that time. The John North House, was bought by Yale in 1923 from the estate of Harry Goodyear Day, BS 1890, LB. 1893, and was used for rental office space. In 1968 the building was renovated for offices and laboratories for the Department of Anthropology. The latest expansion and renovation completed in 2007 produced a "well-organized array of labs, offices and teaching environments in an energy efficient and harmonious complex of old and new."
