Stop #19: Thomas Church Brownell

Chauncey B. Ives

Thomas Church Brownell by Chauncey Ives represents Trinity College's founder and first president.

The Brownell statue was originally displayed in Bushnell Park but was moved when the college established the Rocky Ridge Campus. The statue is currently on display on the Long Walk quadrangle overlooking the elm trees.

Stop #20: Trinity College Rocky Ridge Campus

Frederick Law Olmsted

The Rocky Ridge space became the home for the new Trinity College campus when the state offered the Board $600,000 for their original College Hill campus. Trinity College begrudgingly took the money as they would likely be in debt by the end of the year. College Hill then became the home of the Connecticut Capitol Building, while the college moved to Gallows Hill.
