Entry: In Darkest New England Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/in_darkest_new_england#1943 Post contents: Ralph Adams Cram was also the architect of the Fourth Presbyterian Church in Chicago, with its beautiful timbered roof and intimate “cloistered” quadrangle, and sitting directly across the street on Michigan Avenue from the soaring modern-day temple, the John Hancock. I played football against St. Paul’s in Concord, N.H., and we waxed their behinds 40-0. I’ll never forget that weekend. It was parents’ weekend and the campus was swarming with black limousines. When we were through bullyragging the snots, we hopped on our little yellow school bus and sped by the limos on our way back to our humble “redbrick” campus. In deference, though, I do remember the St. Paul’s campus as being lovely, with its Tudor-style (?) architecture – a sort of High Episcopalian homage to Eton. Sent at: 2008 11 23
