Rudolph Residence

• The existing building is a Victorian Italianate villa built in 1855.

• In 1939, the building was home to the Colonial Funeral Home of Hayes and Pierce

• Rudolph purchased the building when he became Chairman of Yale’s Department of Architecture. The property was chosen due to it being within walking distance to Yale’s architecture school

• In 1961, Rudolph designed and built a two-story brick & glass pavilion, which served as his residence. His architectural office was located on the top floor of the existing building.

• Significant interior modifications were made in 2009, after the building was purchased and occupied by Yale’s Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity.
