Summary
| Description |
English: A reconstructed view of the first Yale College building in New Haven, Connecticut, built 1718. Description from the table of illustrations:
"The traditional view of this building is the  published by Buck in Boston, around 1750. Professor Dexter, in his "Yale Biographies and Annals," considers the Greenwood representation as "a fancy sketch." It obviously does not follow the dimensions of the structure, as given by the Trustees at the time or in their memorandum of the timber specifications, nor by President Clap in his "Annals of Yale," 1766. An attempt has here been made, with the valued assistance of Mr. Norman M. Isham of Providence, the recognized authority on early New England architecture, to represent this building for the first time in its known dimensions, which were about 165 feet long by 22 wide, and 27 feet high. Professor Dexter's decision that there was no clock on this building." |
