===Tomb===
The Skull and Bones Hall, located at 64 High St. in [[New Haven, Connecticut]], is otherwise known as the "Tomb". The building was built in three phases: the first wing was built in 1856, the second [[wing (building)|wing]] in 1903, and Davis-designed [[Neo-Gothic]] towers were added to the rear garden in 1912. The front and side facades are of [[brownstone|Portland brownstone]] in an [[Egyptian Revival architecture|Egypto-Doric style]]. The 1912 tower additions created a small enclosed courtyard in the rear of the building, designed by [[Evarts Tracy]] and Edgerton Swartwout of [[Tracy and Swartwout]], New York.<ref name="YU">''Yale University'' 1999 Princeton Architectural Press, {{ISBN|1-56898-167-8}} [https://books.google.com/books?id=alnup81pmkAC&pg=PA123 Google Books]</ref> Evarts Tracy was an 1890 Bonesman, and his paternal grandmother, Martha Sherman Evarts, and maternal grandmother, Mary Evarts, were the sisters of [[William Maxwell Evarts]], an 1837 Bonesman.

The architect was possibly [[Alexander Jackson Davis]] or [[Henry Austin (architect)|Henry Austin]]. Architectural historian Patrick Pinnell includes an in-depth discussion of the dispute over the identity of the original architect in his 1999 Yale campus history. Pinnell speculates that the re-use of the Davis towers in 1911 suggests Davis's role in the original building and, conversely, Austin was responsible for the architecturally similar [[brownstone]] [[Egyptian Revival]] [[Grove Street Cemetery]] gates, built-in 1845. Pinnell also discusses the Tomb's esthetic place about its neighbors, including the [[Yale University Art Gallery]].<ref name="YU" /> In the late 1990s, New Hampshire landscape architects Saucier and Flynn designed the [[wrought iron]] fence that surrounds a portion of the complex.<ref>{{cite web|website=Saucierflynn.com|url=http://www.saucierflynn.com/clients/nonprofit/scullandbones.php|title=Scull and Bones|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070918134929/http://www.saucierflynn.com/clients/nonprofit/scullandbones.php|archive-date=September 18, 2007}}</ref>
