Note 243 — CHAPTER 11 LATER NEO-GOTHIC OUTSIDE ENGLAND

See Wight, P. B., ‘Reminiscences of Russell Sturgis’, Architectural Record, XXVI (1909), 123-31. It is perhaps worth pointing out that Farnam Hall, together with Sturgis’s contiguous Battell Chapel of 1876 and his Durfee Hall at right angles to it, although neither are of at all comparable excellence, give this corner of the Old Campus at Yale a consistent High Victorian Gothic character interesting to study both in relation to the earlier Romantic Gothic of Henry Austin’s library (now Dwight Chapel) of 1842-4 on the other side of the campus and the ‘traditional’ Collegiate Gothic of James Gamble Rogers’s twentieth-century Harkness Quadrangle across High Street.
