- Description:
- Three surviving structures at the New Hampton School reveal much about rural Victorian educational architecture. The oldest structure (the first chapel, erected in 1826, is an unadorned timber-frame and clapboard structure. Randall Hall was begun in 1829 as a three-story brick dormitory and academic facility. Chapel Hall was erected in 1859 as a full-blown Italian Revival design, but its more subdued ornamentation allowed it to blend in more with its more conservatively designed neighbors.
