EAST HALL* 1791 (1966) (MOOR HALL) (MOOR'S ACADEMY)
Phineas Annis, who had built the Dartmouth Hall cupola (Chase, 584), built this frame schoolhouse between today's Blunt Alumni Center and Parkhurst Hall. The hall served as an academy building for Moor's Charity School (Wheelock's 1754 foundation in Lebanon, Conn.), occasionally also called simply the Academy. Annis may have used some of the materials, or at least proceeds from the sale of the remnants of Old College (Richardson 1932, 214), which was destroyed in 1791 (Chase, 584). The upstairs hall in the Academy was used for a printing office between 1794 and 1801. Chase reports that in 1804 the College altered the position of the building (Chase, 635) though it is not clear why. The building fell into a ruinous state and the College sold it in 1835 and its purchaser moved it to 34 North Main Street, the site where the Choate House stands today (J.M. Lord, 107). Moor's School replaced the Academy with a new brick structure on the same site, later to be enlarged into Chandler Hall (J.K. Lord 1928, 49). Phineas Clement of "Clement Road" fitted up the old wooden building in 1839 as a residence for his farm, and the builidng was sometimes still known as the "Morse Place." In 1905 R.H. Avery owned the building and S.H. Batchelder rented it. In 1920 the building passed to Clifford P. Clark (J.M. Lord, 107) and his Clark School used it as East Hall, the preparatory school's dining hall and dormitory (J.K. Lord 1928, 50). The College bought the house in 1953 and demolished it to replace it with the Choate House around 1966.

EAST WHEELOCK STREET 177X (HANOVER STREET)
The street runs east from the Green. By 1879 residents knew it as West Wheelock Street, though it had earlier been named Hanover Street since it runs to Hanover Center. See also Grass Plot and West Wheelock Street.

EDGERTON HOUSE 1960 (THE EDGE)
The house stands at 14 School Street, partway to the corner of West South Street, and serves as the Episcopal students' center. The building was a gift of Mr. and Mrs. Halsey C. Edgerton '06 and their sons (Aegis 1961). Edgerton was the long-time Treasurer of the College.

ELM HOUSE* (b) c. 1833 (by 1966) (RICHARD LANG HOUSE) (J.S. LANG HOUSE) (E.D. CARPENTER HOUSE)
Richard Lang built the house on the northeast corner of Main and Elm Streets at what was later numbered 25 North Main Street. Richard Lang also built Lang Hall and Unity House and provided this building for his son Colonel John S. Lang, who died in 1839. The old Chapel came from the Shurtleff-Brown lot to the rear of the house in 1840 to become a barn (Chase, 582) and it was destroyed in 1879. In 1844 Lang's widow sold the house to Dr. Thomas P. Hill, who sold it in 1866 to E.D. Carpenter, during whose tenure the house was called "Carpenter House." When Carpenter's daughter's husband, Dorrance B. Currier, died, her estate sold the house to Clifford P. Clark presumably some time in the 1920s. Clark used the house in his preparatory school (J.K. Lord 1928, 52) and the school added a connector to the Clark School Building next door, later known as Fairbanks North after the College purchased it, later to move it to the southwest. The College presumably named the building Elm House after it bought the Clark School properties in 1953. Workers presumably demolished the house in order to build Kiewit in the mid 1960s.

ELM STREET* by 1775 (1993) (CROSS STREET)
The street had pushed from College Street across to Main by 1775 (R.N. Hill), replacing a corduroy bridge that Luke Dewey had built across the ravine to reach the western edge of the Woodward lot, which was the site of Dewey's 1808 blacksmith's shop (J.K. Lord 1928, 54). The Town changed the name from Cross Street to reflect the efforts of the Hanover Ornamental Tree Association, which began in 1843 (Morrison, 57), The College bought Elm Street in 1993 by trading with the Town a set of sports fields outside of the center of town and closed the east end. The Berry Library now stands atop the route of the street.

EPISCOPAL CHAPEL by 1884 (192X) (EPISCOPAL SCHOOL) (ODD FELLOWS' HALL [IV])
The small building stood at 19 South Main Street on the rectory lawn about where the Precinct Building (II) stands today. The Episcopal Church used the building as a school (McCarter, 54), and the Odd Fellows met here in 1907 while the Bridgman Block was being rebuilt (J.K. Lord 1928, 289). The building moved too 20 South College in the 1920s; it seems to have been demolished, possibly by 1929.

EPISCOPAL RECTORY* 1815 (1959)
The rectory stood on the site of today's Precinct Building (II) of 1929, which caused the church building to retreat when it was built. Stebbins wrote that the Town demolished this or a related building thirty years later to make room for the parking lot that now occupies the site (Stebbins 1961, 122); the rectory, howver, still stands at 12 School Street (Old Houses of Hanover).

EPSILON KAPPA THETA HOUSE (II) 1896 (TAU EPSILON PHI HOUSE) (HAROLD PARMINGTON FOUNDATION HOUSE) (DELTA PSI DELTA HOUSE)
Architects Dwight & Chandler designed the house at 15 Webster Avenue for W.M. Patten (J.K. Lord 1928, 69), who owned it at least through 1931. The M.H.M.H. Nurses' School leased the builiding from its owner in 1942 (Land, 80), and the house was still in private hands in 1950. The Tau Epsilon Phi Fraternity, founded in 1950 (R.N. Hill, 234) occupied the house by 1961. In 1969 that organization became The Harold Parmington Foundation, later transforming into Delta Psi Delta, which failed in 1990. Both organizations were co-ed and local. The alumni of these three organizations founded the 15 Webster Avenue Award for community service performed by C.F.S. organizations. The local Epsilon Kappa Theta Sorority, which was the national Kappa Alpha Theta until around 1991, now occupies the house, which the College owns.

EXPERIMENTAL FARM* 1869 (1892)
Originally a hemlock swamp (Richardson 1932, 102), the thirty-acre plot of land south of Wheelock street became the Experimental Farm of the Agricultural College when the State of New Hampshire bought it for that purpose (Richardson 1932, 540). The school had established itself in Hanover in 1868 under the authority of the 1862 Morrill Act, and later built its Experimental Station across Park Street to accompany the Farm, a building now called Thayer Lodge. The College bought the Farm in 1892 along with Conant Hall for $15,000 (Richardson 1932, 629). Today Alumni Gym, Memorial Field,, Berry Gym and Leverone Field House all stand on portions of the old farm.

F

FACULTY APARTMENTS 1957
The two faculty housing buildings stand at 10-14 North Park Street (R.N. Hill, 332). Other faculty apartments include Parker, Whitaker, Parkside and West Wheelock Street Apartments.

FAIRBANKS NORTH 1925 (THE CLARK SCHOOL [GYMNASIUM]) (NORTH FAIRBANKS) (DARTMOUTH FILMS)
The large that hall adjoins Fairbanks South behind Massachusetts Row once housed the Clark School gymnasium at 25 North Main Street, a site east of the northeast corner of Elm and Main Streets, behind the corner where Kiewit later would stand. The College purchased the building in the fall of 1953 from the Cardigan Mountain School, which had acquired the Clark property in the spring. Dartmouth renamed the building for Professor Arthur Fairbanks, director of the Boston MFA between 1907 and 1925 (Widmayer 1991, 94). In 1953 the College installed a 98-seat theater that became the home of the film society (Dartmouth Film Society, 4). The College moved the building to its current site to make way for the Computation Center in 1963.

FAIRBANKS SOUTH 1903-4 (BETA THETA PI HOUSE [II]) (SANBORN LANE HOUSE) (GRADUATE CLUB [III]) (ADMISSIONS BUILDING [I]) (COUNSELING OFFICE) (TUCKER FOUNDATION)
Beta Theta Pi Fraternity built the house in 1903-4 to designs prepared in 1893 by fraternity alumnus and soon College architect Charles Alonzo Rich. The building is currently occupied by the William Jewett Tucker Foundation, which has enclosed the front porch.

SHERMAN FAIRCHILD PHYSICAL SCIENCES CENTER 1972-1974
Architects Shepley, Bulfinch, Richardson and Abbot of Boston, including James F. Clapp, Jr., Partner-in-charge and project architect George Balich designed the building. . The four-story building holds classrooms, offices and laboratories for the geography and physical science departments (From Dartmouth 1972, 3), and connects to both Steele and Wilder in the form of a glass-and-concrete tower. The later Burke adjoins Fairchild to the north. Fairchild building incorporates a "flexible" modular system that the Ford Foundation and the Toronto school system developed. The building stands on sites once occupied by the 1811 Medical School Building; the Lord House, which had moved there in 1920; and the Professors Lord House, also moved there in 1920. The College remodeled the building in 1983 (Facilities).

FAULKNER HOUSE* 1950-1952 (1995) (HOSPITAL [II])
The main building of the newer southern part of the Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital (Land, 94) fronted onto Maynard Street and was while it existed the largest and tallest building in Hanover. Mrs. Marianne Faulkner of Woodstock gave the largest contribution to the building's construction in memory of her husband Edward Daniels Faulkner (Williams, 203), The College purchased the building along with the other Hospital properties in 1989 and demolished it in 1995 by explosion and wrecking ball.

FAYERWEATHER HALL 1899-1900 (MID-FAYER)
The dormitory stands on the site of the outhouses that stood behind Dartmouth Hall, including one called the Little College (R.N. Hill, 199). College architect Charles Rich designed the building to be "built in Colonial design, of red brick with granite trimmings;" it is 120' long and 52' deep and is divided by brick walls into three sections; it originally contained an "unusual number of single rooms" and originally accommodated 81 students"(Emerson 1900). The hall cost $44,060 to build (Richardson 1932, 677) and bears the name of the New York leather merchant Mr. Daniel D. Fayerweather, who had no particular connection to the College but included it in his will with a number of other institutions that also posess Fayerweather Halls today, including the University of Virginia, Amherst College and Harvard University. Though Emerson notes that the building "represents a part of his bequest to the College" (Emerson 1900), the building seems to have been built with College funds like the other dormitories and simply named in honor of Mr. Fayerweather's gift, which went to cover College deficits.. Fayerweather became a barracks in 1918 (R.N. Hill, 241). The hall held 85 in 1932 (Richardson 1932, 677), having undergone a complete internal reconstruction in 1928-30. In 1945 the College remodeled Fayerweather into kitchenette suites for some of the more-than fifty couples who arrived after the war (Widmayer 1991, 25). Fayerweather became a regular dormitory again in 1947 (Widmayer 1991, 45). The hall held 107 in 1961 (three singles, ten doubles, 28 triples) (Office of the Bursar), and still the same number in 1990 (ORL). The College added lounge and kitchen space in a semi-subterranean cryptoporticus that now connects it to North and South Fayerweathers during the revamping of 1984 and 1985 (ORL). The Alumni Sponsor is the Class of 1961(ORL).

FERRY* (I) 17XX (18XX)
A ferry landing stood on the site of the Ledyard bridge (Chase, 254); the Bridge was built in 1796 but the ferry continued to compete with it.

FIRE AND SKOAL HOUSE ca. 1893-1896
The house stands at 29 South Park Street. C.H. Richardson and Edwin Chase occupied the building by 1896. W.H. Moore owned the building by 1931, and the College has owned it since before 1984, when the Fire & Skoal Senior Society, founded in 1975, moved into the building (Aegis 1987, 315).

-FIRST COLLEGE GRANT 17XX
The New Hampshire Legislature granted this land to the College in the early part of the 19th century as a means of supporting it; the land included the town of Landaff, from which the College was supposed to draw rents. The grant proved unworkable and the Legislature later replaced it with the Second College Grant.

FIRST NEW HAMPSHIRE BANK BUILDING 197X (DARTMOUTH NATIONAL BANK [II])
The large modernist brick building stands back from South Main Street at around no. 31, occupying the location of the old Tavern Block and before that South Hall (a). The College seems to have purchased the building in the mid-1990s.

FOLEY HOUSE (II) after 1931 (OUTWARD BOUND HOUSE)
The first owner of the house at 20 West Street built or moved it there after 1931; by 1984-5 the College owned the building and used it as the Outward Bound House. Now it serves as a "place for consensual decision-making," living, etc., and holds ten students in four single and three doubles (ORL). The Foley House organization had previously occupied the house at 9 Webster Avenue, now Kappa Delta Epsilon Sorority, since Foley was descended from the Delta Upsilon Fraternity (From Dartmouth 1970, 34).

F.O.M. WAREHOUSE c. 1927-1944
Lying on the northwest corner of Lebanon and Crosby Streets, the F.O.M. Warehouse occupies land owned by the N.H. College of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts until 1892. The whole block, especially in the area to the northwest of the warehouse, had been home to industrial and workshop functions since the 1870s when the College Gasworks occupied the center of the block. By 1894 Sanborn maps show the block housing a machine shop south of Hallgarten Hall, formerly of the N.H.C.A.M.A.; the College's Heating Plant; a print shop; and a collection of five lumber sheds strung out to the southeast of the Heating Plant--all still to the northwest of the site of the F.O.M. Warehouse. By 1912 a narrow one-story garage stood near the corner of Crosby Street, aligned north-south. This building would last until some time between 1927 and 1944 when the Warehouse would occupy its site. Meanwhile the College built a c. 1904-1912 lumber shed of frame construction running east-west that forms the oldest part of the Warehouse today. A later block of one-story sheds midway up Crosby Street forms the northern portion of the Warehouse and dates to between 1912 and 1922. The College built the angled Warehouse itself as a lumber shed and it first appears on Sanborn maps of 1944.

-COREY FORD RUGBY CLUBHOUSE designed 1998-99
Architect Randall Mudge of Hanover designed the clubhouse for the men's and women's rugby teams on Reservoir Road north of Hanover, south of the old Pat & Tony's. The building preserves the name of writer Corey Ford, who helped found the team in the 1950s and later willed his house to be sold to purchase a clubhouse. Controversy over zoning proprieties on this portion of the old Garipay Farm slowed the start of construction; the possibility of a land swap with the Dresden School District may cause the building to be erected on Sachem Field instead. The clubhouse was designed to occupy a ridge running between two pitches named Brophy Field, with changing rooms at field level and the Deevy Room and viewing deck above.

FOSTER HOUSE* about 1787 (1855) (DELTA KAPPA EPSILON HOUSE [I]) (PINNEO HOUSE)
George Foster, a tradesman, built the house on College Street south of the Delta Gamma House, approximately at the north end of Burke Hall (J.K. Lord 1928, 61). The large two-story house stood with its gable toward the street; it was the home of Dr. Nathan Smith from 1806 until he left for Yale, when he rented it out and later sold it to Captain E.D. Curtis, former proprietor of Dartmouth Hotel, in 1822. The house passed to the son-in-law of Curtis, Joseph Pinneo, a nurseryman, and the Delta Kappa Epsilon Fraternity later used it for a time (J.K. Lord 1913, 310. The house burned in 1855.

FOWLER HOUSE* by 1928 (1993)
John Gile had his mansion built on the south side of Maynard Street in the Colonial style in the first quarter of the century; Mrs. J.M. Gile owned the building by 1928, and presumably a Fowler owned it before the Hospital purchsed the building and connected it to Winifred Raven to the east. The College bought the house along with the Hospital in 1989 and demolished it in 1993.

FREEMAN-SHERMAN HOUSE 1843
Sarah and Hannah Freeman had the house at 23 North Main Street, on the south corner of Main and Elm, built in 1843. They sold it on their death to Miss L.J. Sherman, and later the College purchased it (J.K. Lord 1928, 51), moving it to Chase Road for the construction of Baker Library ("Old Grads").

FRENCH HALL 1958-1962 (SOUTH WIGWAM)
The four-story dormitory forms one third of the River Cluster (R.N. Hill, 332), standing near the site of the Wigwam Circle, post-war housing for married students that remained until about 1958. Funds from the U.S. Housing and Home Finance Administration helped construct French Hall (Widmayer 1991, 136). The dormitory held 116 in twelve singles and 52 doubles when it was new (Office of the Bursar); it held 100 in 28 singles and 36 doubles in 1990 (ORL), The College remodeled the building in 1985 (Facilities).

FRIENDS OF DARTMOUTH ROWING BOATHOUSE 1987 (BOATHOUSE [VI])
The Boathouse stands on the River north of the Bridge and stores 30 boats for the various rowing crews. The building cost $780,000 and was designed by C. Stuart White, Jr., of Banwell Architects of Hanover.

FRESHMAN GALLOWS 1852 (18XX) (GYMNASIUM)
Students set up the gymnastics equipment, presumably including a set of parallel bars, behind the Observatory in 1852 (Quint, 247). This represents one of the first constructed athletic facilities at the College; the Bissell Gymnasium opened in 1866. Alpheus Crosby dates the awakening of interest in athletics to an 1826 gymnastics apparatus that students built behind Dartmouth Hall (Crosby, 23).

FULLER BOATHOUSE 1940 (BOATHOUSE [V])
The boathouse provides storage for crew boats next to the Friends Boathouse.

FURBER HOUSE 1898 (DELTA TAU DELTA HOUSE [I]) (SIGMA PHI EPSILON HOUSE [II])
G.C. Furber from Littleton had the house built at 8 School Street, on the southeast corner of Allen and School Streets. By 1905 Furber sold the house to the Delta Tau Delta Fraternity, who then sold it to Mrs. H.T. Howe (J.K. Lord 1928, 66); Mrs. A.B. Reynolds owned the building in 1928 and 1931 and Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity by 1950.
