Two tapestries have usurped the space formerly occupied by thirteen portraits in the newly-opened Leverett House Dining Hall.
The first, (pictured on the right), a gift from the Hearst Foundation, is "one of many relics from the warehouses of the late William Randolph Hearst which Hearst himself may have seen only once," according to Robert S. Sturgis '44, of Shepley, Bulfinch, Richardson & Abbott, Architects. The second is an eighteenth century Flemish landscape from the Fogg Museum.
The dispossessed portraits will probably find new homes in the private dining room, in the new lobby, or in the Junior and Senior Common Rooms, according to John J. Conway, Master of Leverett House.
They include likenesses of Benjamin Franklin, George Lyman Kittredge, Bishop Lawrence (one of the House's first associates), and Charles James Fox.
