This remarkable complex -- Gerry and Bradley halls (by E.K. and M.K Hunter) at Dartmouth College, is slated to be razed this fall. Once the home of the college's math and psychology department, these early 1960s buildings were a bold departure from the neoclassical brick that is so ponderously dominant in beautiful downtown Hanover and its Ivy League patroon. They are already invisible, for all intents and purposes, having been eclipsed by the newly emerging Kemeny Hall (Moore Ruble Yudell) and of course the Berry Library (Venturi/Scott Brown).
I am working on an article that will pay tribute to these buildings, what they did, and what they failed to do. Your comments and reminiscences about them, either before or after the article, are welcome.
