I’ve heard the Dartmouth Hall is not the original building. When was it rebuilt and why?

0

On the morning of February 18, 1904, while the students were attending chapel, fire broke out in Dartmouth Hall. The original building, begun in 1784 and completed in 1791, had survived fireplaces, wood-burning stoves, candles, and oil lamps only to fall victim to faulty wiring. The temperature was minus 20 degrees that day, and the local volunteer fire department could not stop the blaze. The building burned to the ground in under two hours, leaving only two window frames behind.

Certainly! The weather vane, which is 8 feet 9 inches long, 6 feet 8 inches tall, and weighs 600 pounds, depicts Dartmouth's founder, Eleazar Wheelock, teaching a Native American under the Old Pine. It is made from steel and coated with copper so it would turn green as weathered copper does.
