Peek over the gates for a moment.
Soldiers from the American Revolution, some killed during the British retreat from Lexington and Concord in seventeen seventy-five, are memorialized by a central granite obelisk, and there are even the gravestones of two Black patriots, Cato Stedman and Neptune Frost, whose lives remind us that freedom was always fought for by many voices.

The Harvard Lampoon Building, a quirky, turreted “castle” that looks like a cross between a Flemish town hall, a medieval fantasy, and a practical joke you’re not quite sure you understand.

Funded by Anne Sever in memory of her husband, James Warren Sever, it was intended as a hub for “academic life and lecture”. Critics and admirers have jousted over its design since it appeared, some calling it fortress-like, others praising its vigor and originality, but Sever has weathered every drift of opinion with understated confidence. It’s so admired by architects that the renowned Robert Venturi, a giant of postmodern design, once called Sever Hall his “favorite building in America,” attesting to both its artistic impact and the subtle genius of its details.
