Harvard Hall in Winter — Harvard Hall in the Yard is the second oldest surviving building at Harvard, after Massachusetts Hall.

Harvard Yard Dormitories — Matthews Hall, one of the freshman dormitories in Harvard Yard.

Wadsworth House in Winter — Wadsworth House was used by George Washington as his headquarters during the Siege of Boston, 1775–1776. Many of the Yard buildings, such as Harvard Hall, were used to quarter troops during that time.

Bird Department, Museum of Comparative Zoology — Looking down an aisle in the egg room to my desk. The window sash fit so poorly that in the winter little piles of snow would often accumulate on the window sill inside the room.
