Rollins Chapel’s ca. 2004 renovation, the one that uncovered the windows, was designed by Theriault/Landmann Associates of Maine.

Architect Orliff Van Heik Chase of Shepley Rutan & Coolidge designed some work on the Delta Tau Delta house at Dartmouth according to William Collin Levere, Leading Greeks (1915). The basis for the work, perhaps an addition, appears to have been the fraternity’s 1874 house at 36 North Main (burned 1936). A 1915 view of the house hints at a “goat room” addition between the house and the barn. Another view appears in Barrett’s Hanover, N.H.. Chase was a 1908 Wesleyan graduate who designed houses for the fraternity at Wesleyan and Tufts as well.

Conservation easement in Corinth

A press release notes that Dartmouth received 700 acres of forested land in Corinth, Vermont, in the 1920s. The property, about 35 miles away, has been the source of timber used in College construction projects, including the McLane Family Lodge at the Skiway. The College recently conveyed to the Upper Valley Land Trust the right to develop the property extensively; some logging will continue.

Book information   |   Errata (pdf)

Dartmouth College 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.
