Durfee Hall, High Victorian Gothic dormitory at Yale University Old Campus, Connecticut.
Durfee Hall features limestone walls, ornate gables, prominent turrets, and large brick chimneys that define its architectural composition at Yale University.
Completed in 1871 under architect Russell Sturgis Jr, the building was funded by Bradford M. C. Durfee from Fall River, Massachusetts.
The dormitory maintains its original purpose by housing first-year students of Morse College before their transition to different residential buildings.
The residential structure contains multiple suites accommodating six to nine students each, with the highest number of single rooms among Yale freshman housing.
Each suite includes a central common room with connecting hallways, enabling residents to move through the building without using staircases.
