The
Buildings
TD is fortunate to have more annex space than any other college at Yale. Once respectable fraternities (Vernon Hall and St. Elmo's), 370 Temple Street ("370," or "no, the other annex") and Rosenfeld Hall (once known as "Elmo's," now simply "The Annex") were deftly remodeled by the University to provide the ultimate in dormitory luxury. Those who opt for these special accommodations share their home with the Associate Treasurer's Office and the Language Lab, to the extreme envy of less favored Yalies. |
The
building was designed by James Gamble Rogers, Class of 1889, in the
American Federal style, which was current during the presidency of the
elder Dwight. The Temple Street front suggests the appearance, on a larger
scale, of the Old Brick Row on the Old Campus of which Connecticut Hall is
the sole surviving member. The interior courtyard with its double
quadrangle, the white pillars of the Dining Hall entrance, and
reproduction of old doorways around the courtyard suggests a New England
village green. The Dining Hall is intended to replicate an old town
meeting hall; Dean Loge would tell you that it looks more like an
upside-down boat. A reproduction of the old Yale Fence encloses the lower
courtyard. Several matching red brick skyscrapers are skillfully placed
around the outside of the courtyard to remind us that we are in the 20th
Century.
