Saint Anthony Hall (Hartford, Connecticut)

The Saint Anthony Hall Trinity College chapter house is an historic fraternity building located at 340 Summit Street in Hartford, Connecticut.

The building was completed at a cost of $68,00—$40,000 of which was donated by Robert Habersham Coleman, an 1877 Trinity graduate and Delta Psi fraternity member, who become, albeit briefly, the wealthiest man in the United States.

Saint Anthony Hall is located on Gallows Hill, topographically the highest elevation Hartford, just north of the Trinity College campus, on the corner of Summit Avenue and Allen Place.

It is a two–story High Victorian Gothic style building finished with a façade made of quarried New Hampshire granite laid in random courses.

[2] Cady's design for the Epsilon chapter house was a departure from many collegiate secret society buildings of the time, particularly the ones at Yale; its large windows, both front and back, as well as its prominent oak front doors with carved glyphs were seen as a welcoming feature, yet its imposing architecture did not fail to communicate a strong element of secretiveness that continued to mark the character of the organization.
