Street Hall
Street Hall is a historic building on the Yale University campus on the corner of Chapel and High Streets. It housed the first collegiate art school in the United States and a gift from Augustus Russell Street, a native of New Haven and graduate of the Class of 1812, to Yale for the establishment its School of Fine Arts.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://art.yale.edu/History )〕 It was designed by Peter Bonnett Wight in 1864. Street Hall is described as a "beacon of Yale's then-nascent engagement with New Haven" due to Augustus Russell Street's request that the building have entrances facing both Old Campus and the city sidewalk. When the renovation is complete, visitors will be able to enter it from the Yale University Art Gallery. The Art Gallery plans to expand across the bridge over High Street into Street Hall.〔 The building's facade is characterized by restless, asymmetrical massing〔Massing is a design term that relates to the arrangement of shapes. Different arrangements of shapes create different massing shapes. Some examples of massing are stepping back from the boundary massing and vertical tower oblong-shaped massing.〕 and a combination of dark and light stones. The building is the final resting place of John Trumbull, the famed American painter. ==References==
