Leverett House (Cambridge, Mass.)

Hide Profile

Leverett House was built in 1935 to serve non-resident students. It was named after John Leverett, who was President of Harvard from 1708 to 1724. In the mid-nineteen-twenties, Harvard had constructed student residences on the banks of the recently dammed Charles River; McKinlock Hall was one of those original buildings. With the formation of Leverett House in 1930-1931, Mather Hall across Mill Street was built along with the present dining hall and Master's residence. Leverett remained in that configuration until the early 1960's when the College expanded and the new Houses were added.
