Description

Completed in 1925, Albee, along with Hegeman, was designed to serve as one side of a quadrangle envisioned by B.I. Bell but never completed. Edward Albee was a trustee of the College, a devout Episcopalian, and owner of the Palace Theater in New York. He was unusually meticulous in his generosity: Once the dormitory was completed, Mr. Albee insisted on furnishing each room, supervising the details down to the choice of bedding, rugs, divans, inkwells, and blotters.
