Holden Chapel, Hollis Hall, University Hall 1861 - 1866

Editor: So, here's a photograph of Holden Chapel, Hollis Hall, and University Hall, artist George Kendall Warren. It evokes such a stark, New England feeling, almost like a memory fading at the edges. What strikes you most about this image? Curator: It whispers of time, doesn't it? The bare tree reaching like grasping hands, the stoic buildings... I wonder, what stories have those walls absorbed? It feels like Warren is capturing not just buildings, but the very essence of academia, its weight and its silent observation. Almost makes you want to curl up with a dusty book, doesn't it? Editor: Absolutely. The photo's making me re-think how architecture can carry such a personal, emotional punch. Curator: Me too! I will never look at a building the same way again.
