Robinson Hall, forming the northern side of the Sever quadrangle at 35 Quincy Street, was constructed to house Harvard University's Department of Architecture, founded in 1894. The building was completed in 1904 to the neoclassical design of architect Charles McKim. Eclectically derived classical bas-reliefs frame the entrance, while plaques celebrating the names of architects, sculptors and philosophers are placed below the upper windows. Robinson Hall was the home of the Graduate School of Design for years before the construction of Gund Hall, and now houses the History Department.
Harvard University (officially The President and Fellows of Harvard College), a private Ivy League university, was established in 1636 by the colonial Massachusetts legislature. Harvard is the first corporation chartered in the United States and oldest institution of higher learning in the United States. The university currently comprises ten separate academic units and has the largest financial endowment of any school in the world.
Harvard Yard, a twenty-five acre grassy area, constitutes the oldest part and the center of the campus of Harvard University. Geographically Harvard Yard is bordered to the west by Massachusetts Avenue and Peabody Street, the north by Cambridge Street, the northeast by Broadway, the east by Quincy Street, and the south by Harvard Street and Massachusetts Avenue. It contains thirteen of Harvard College's seventeen freshman dormitories, as well as four libraries, five buildings of classrooms and academic departments, and the central administrative offices of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences and the university. The western third of Harvard Yard, which opens onto Massachusetts Avenue at Johnston Gate, is known as the Old Yard.
