Dome

Raised gallery with arcade leading to the bridge (right); Swartwout graduated from Yale University (BA), in 1891 and entered the office of McKim, Mead & White in 1892. Swartwout’s grandly arcaded Tuscan Romanesque block (1926-1928) is linked to Peter B. Wight’s Veronese Gothic Street Hall (1866) by a bridge that arches over High Street and connects to Street Hall. The buildings were fully restored (and expanded) in 2006-2012. Street Hall originally housed the first art school on an American college campus. It now is part of YUAG and has exhibition galleries. (The School of Art is now on Chapel St.) Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordartonline.com/ (accessed 8/3/2015)
