The nave of the newly renovated Sterling Memorial Library at Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut. It’s one of the most awe inspiring buildings in the Collegiate Gothic style. Designed by James Gamble Rogers, it was completed in 1930. It follows the basic form of a cathedral with central nave, side aisles, transept, and sanctuary.
Currently for sale by owners (Oct. 2011) with an out-of-town ph. number. A fair number of prominent Victorian era homes in Calvert currently have for sale signs. There are various reasons but nearly all of them are economic-related. For a fair number of mainly business and professional folks whose primary residence may be in Austin, Bryan-College Station, or Waco-Temple, Calvert is a nice weekend getaway spot for a second home. Architecturally, this is one of the more interesting examples. Although the prominent front Bay and square tower suggest Italianate style, the delicate scroll-sawn verge boards and quatrefoil and trefoil designs between the porch posts clearly say Gothic Revival. Last, the cross "X's" (often called "cross-bucks") on the tower suggest the rare Stick style. This house is one of those eclectic Victorian hybrids that Texas is somewhat known for. Houses of this kind are very rarely seen now even in small Texas towns but they were once fairly common and even more ornate than this example. 19th century Texans went "all-out" to add more gingerbread than other places resulting in very frilly confections but once Victoriana fell out of favor in Texas, house wreckers could hardly keep up with all the Victorian "white elephants" being targeted for demolition. Only the more sedate examples with Neo-Classical details survived in some numbers but the wildly ornate examples were often the first to be demolished. This is one of my Calvert favorites because of its ornamental eccentricities.
In a slightly uncanny but pleasant way, standing inside the UW’s Savery Hall feels like being in a spaceship from the future that has landed inside a Collegiate Gothic shell.
