Harvard University - Winthrop House Gore Hall

John Winthrop House, located on the banks of the Charles River, is one of twelve undergraduate residential Houses at Harvard University. The House derives its name from two notable men named John Winthrop who shared both name and lineage. Winthrop House consists of two historical buildings, Standish Hall and Gore Hall, both large four-story U-shaped structures connected by the Yellowwood Courtyard. Both Standish and Gore Hall were originally built in 1912 and share many architectural Neo-Georgian attributes.

Beginning in May 2016, Winthrop House became one of twelve undergraduate Houses committed to being fully restored following Harvard’s ambitious, multiple decade restoration program.
