Hitchcock Hall gutted, structure revealed

Amazing photos of the scoured interior of Hitchcock Hall have been posted to the OPDC site.

The builders only knew the first-floor plan when they put the foundation in during 1912, since the rest of the building had not been designed. One wonders whether any of the concrete piers are afterthoughts.

[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.
