Durfee Hall
Durfee Hall is a freshman residential dormitory on the Old Campus of Yale University. Built in 1871, it is the second oldest residential building at Yale, only after Farnam Hall. Currently, the building is used to house first-year students of Morse College, who stay there for the duration of their freshman year before moving into Morse College proper.
==History==
Durfee Hall was completed in 1871 under the direction of Russell Sturgis, Jr. (M.A., Honorary, Yale University, 1872) and received its name from the generous Yale benefactor Bradford M. C. Durfee, Esq., of Fall River, Massachusetts.〔Catalogue of the Officers and Graduates of Yale University〕 It was the second of a set of three buildings Sturgis designed that include Farnam Hall and Battell Chapel,〔http://www.yale.edu/architectureofyale/Lawrance.html〕 and was originally described simply as "large and costly."〔Lamb's Biographical Dictionary of the United States, Volume 2〕 However, it was quickly recognized as the defining piece of architecture on Yale's campus, and by the late 19th century, it was referred to by the ''New York Times'' as "the centre of wealth at Yale" 〔http://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9D05E3DF1031E033A25752C2A9679C94629ED7CF〕 and as "one of the finest college dormitories in the United States."〔Appleton's Cyclopaedia of American Biography, Volume 2〕
