DescriptionLehman Hall occupies the site on which the second, third, and fourth meetinghouses (1650, 1706, 1752) of The First Parish in Cambridge had been built. The site became Harvard property in 1833.[2] In keeping with its original function as the home of Harvard's Bursar's Office – for part of which time it was known as "The Counting House"[3] – its "heroic parade of pilasters, a bit overblown admittedly, [are] doubtless intended to mark the principal frontispiece, as Lehman is, of Yard to [Harvard] Square" (as Shand-Tucci put it).{{refn|name=ST|{{cite book|title=The Campus Guide: Harvard University|author=Douglas Shand-Tucci|isbn=978-1568982809|publisher=Princeton Architectural Press|date=2001}} }} Its "main chamber reaches practically the entire height of the building, is finished in delicately modeled cream plaster{{nbsp}}... an extraordinarily light, cheerily simple room. A balcony reaches about part of its upper circumference."{{r|csm}} Bainbridge Bunting wrote that its "public function is announced by an architectural frontispiece of giant pilasters and arched windows repeated on both major elevations. The building's mass also is sufficient to announce its official role and to define the triangular open space on its east side, although the pilasters are out of scale with other buildings in the Yard." The plaza immediately in front of its Yard-facing elevation once had a sculpture by Henry Moore.{{r|bunting}} Dudley HouseIn 1965 Lehman Hall assumed its current function[4] as home of one of the thirteen undergraduate "houses" within Harvard College, Dudley House, which serves the very few Harvard undergraduates not living in one of the other twelve (residential) houses (that is, students living in off-campus apartments and in the student-run Dudley Coop).{{refn|{{cite web|url=http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~dudley/ |title=Main § Dudley House |publisher=Fas.harvard.edu |date= |accessdate=2011-10-18}} }}[5] It also provides certain services to the University's graduate students.{{clarify|date=September 2011}} References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.thecrimson.com/article/1925/11/21/many-new-sights-greet-alumni-around/ |title=Many New Sights Greet Alumni Around Square | News | The Harvard Crimson |publisher=Thecrimson.com |date=1925-11-21 |accessdate=2015-08-12}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://oasis.lib.harvard.edu/oasis/deliver/~hua50010 |title=Harvard University.
