North Brother Island : The 1885 Plan


Charles Coolidge Haight (1841 – February 9, 1917) was an American architect who practiced in New York City. He graduated from Columbia University in 1861; before working as an architect, he studied law at Columbia Law School. A number of his buildings survive including at Yale University[1] and Trinity College (Hartford, CT). He also designed most of the campus of the Episcopal General Theological Seminary in Chelsea Square, New York. The original brick buildings he designed for Columbia College, at the college's former location on Madison Avenue, no longer survive.

Haight died at his home in Garrison, New York in 1917.

Haight's contributions to both Yale and the Episcopal Seminary remain significant to this day, although at Yale, James Gamble Rogers is more often associated with Yale's collegiate- or neo-gothic style. Haight's architectural drawings and photographs are held in the Dept. of Drawings and Archives at the Avery Architectural and Fine Arts Library at Columbia University in New York City.
