Bartlet Hall was dedicated in 1821 by the Seminary, a gift of Captain William Bartlet of Newburyport. It was the second Bartlet Hall on campus as Barlet Chapel (now Pearson Hall) was originally called Bartlet Hall. This photograph was taken after the restoration of the building, which repaired fire damage from a 1914 fire and removed the fourth floor to conform with other buildings and reduce the fire danger.
