Dartmo.: The Buildings of Dartmouth College

This article

The school has selected the names for one of two dormitory trios being built in the McLaughlin Cluster. The three connected buildings will be called Berry Hall, Bildner Hall, and Byrne Hall II according to a press release.

Three families gave about $6 million each for the buildings: John and Shirley Berry, Charles Berry, and Roberta and George Berry ‘66 funded a dormitory to be named for John W. Berry Sr. ‘44; Joan and Allen Bildner ‘47, Tu ‘48 funded Bildner Hall; Dorothy and John “Jack” Byrne Jr. and their sons John Byrne III ‘81, Mark Byrne ‘85, Tu ‘86, and Patrick Byrne ‘85 funded Byrne Hall II.

About Dartmo.

[RSS 2.0] This site presents one view of the architecture of Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire, U.S.A. The site began with some essays in May 1995 and incorporated the buildings catalog in 1996 and the Rich thesis in June, 1998. (The site was known as DArch initially and was renamed for an abbreviation of the word "Dartmouth.")

The campi of Columbia, Stanford and Amherst are the subjects of readily-available books, but no detailed architectural history of the country's fifth-oldest campus has been written. Dartmouth hosts the important collegiate grouping of Dartmouth Row and comprises some of the largest accumulations of the work of three American architects: Ammi Burnham Young, Charles Alonzo Rich and Jens Fredrick Larson. The campus currently is expanding in a fashion that is self-consciously traditional, which only enhances the need for information about its historic buildings.
