Cambridge Court's Georgian look is said to come from Harvard's freshman dormitories
The fourteen buildings of Cambridge Court, this one among them, are faced in red brick laid in Flemish bond with stone and wood trim. The Landmarks Preservation Commission reports a tradition that the complex's neo-Georgian look was copied from Harvard University's dormitories for first-year students in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Each building has a projecting entrance porch on fluted stone pilasters, a feature typical of Wells.
