One of my (many) favorite buildings at Yale University is Bingham Hall, a monumental and landmark example of the Collegiate Gothic architecture style. Built in 1928, replacing the 1888 Osborn Hall (last post), Bingham Hall was constructed as an inward-facing freshman dormitory by architect, Walter B. Chambers, who had just overseen the completion of his first building at Yale, the Colonial Revival style McClellan Hall. Built of Longmeadow brownstone, Bingham Hall largely constructed from funds donated by the children of Charles W. Bingham (Yale, 1868), a Cleveland based businessman. The building stands five stories with a massive nine-story corner tower and helped solidify Yale’s iconic Collegiate Gothic architecture for the future buildings and growth as well.
Buildings of New England 
I’ve really enjoyed this series of Yale buildings. Having grown up not far from New Haven I always loved seeing the architecture which reminded me of my British roots. I wanted to see what inspired these architects and living half of every year in the UK have been able to indulge that. It’s so nice to revisit these buildings and read your always concise history behind them. I feel fortunate to have grown up in an area of the country so rich in these examples.

Thank you for the kind words! New Haven is really a gem of architecture in New England, and beyond the Yale buildings!
