| Originally the home of Yale President and distinguished author and professor Theodore Dwight Woolsey this circa 1833 house remained in the Woolsey family for nearly 100 years. Woolsey’s son, T. S. Woolsey, hired Boston architect R. Clipston Sturgis to expand and re-Federalize the house in 1901. In 1936 the house was converted into offices and storefronts were added, designed by noted local architect Douglass Orr. The client, Yale University, wanted to bring the house back to its 1901 appearance and alter the ground floor for offices and classrooms. Our firm surveyed the building and used historic plans and photographs to recreate its former appearance. We also gathered a team of consultants to assist in making the building handicap accessible and code compliant.
