Exterior

A two story brick tower capped by a two story wooden cupola stands at the main entrance atop a tree lined vista up College Hill, giving the structure a sense of weight and importance. The tower, however, is a nineteenth century addition built in conjunction with the east wing erected in 1867 from plans developed by James C. Bucklin along Benefit Street. The two additions replaced the pedimented entries on either side as well as the original portico or verandah which accompanied the western entrance.
