Harvard Lampoon Building
Harvard Lampoon Building, Satirical magazine headquarters in Harvard Square, Cambridge, USA
The Harvard Lampoon Building features a cylindrical turret, copper dome, and triangular layout at the intersection of Mount Auburn and Bow Streets.
Edmund M. Wheelwright designed this structure in 1909, incorporating elements from a Jamestown church and Flemish Renaissance architecture for 40,000 dollars.
The building houses The Harvard Lampoon magazine editorial meetings in its round library, fostering the development of American humor literature since 1876.
Located near Harvard Yard, the structure contains imported Belgian windows, Dutch Delft tiles, and an English Elizabethan mantelpiece throughout its interior.
A four-foot copper ibis weighing 70 pounds sits atop the building dome, becoming the target of numerous theft attempts throughout its history.
