Today's weather vane was photographed at Harvard University, just like last week's weathervane.
Do you know the location of weathervane post #327? Scroll down to find the answer.
Today’s weathervane was photographed at Eliot House, at
Harvard University. This residence hall is located at 101 Dunster Street in
Cambridge, Massachusetts. It has three
open courtyards, and a belltower. Eliot House is named for President Charles W.
Eliot, whose term as college president ran from 189 to 1909. The Eliot House crest is based on the Eliot
family coat of arms, and the house mascot, the elephant, is derived from the family
crest, too. There are four elephants hidden in the architecture
of Eliot House. The house colors are
blue, red and white. There are about
450 students at Eliot House known as “Eliotites”.
The green cupola above the belltower supports the gilded
weathervane. This scrolled weathervane
represents a later style than the swallow-tailed weathervane style at Dunster House featured last week. There are no cardinal
points (North, South, East, or West indicators), and the finial is a
starburst. It has a nice patina, versus
the shiny new Dunster House weathervane.
