The CaDA C66017 – CaDA Harvard Memorial Hall is a building-block model of one of the most important historic buildings of Harvard University. With 1,411 pieces, it creates a true-to-detail Harvard building brick model in Victorian Gothic style – the larger of CaDA's two Harvard sets.

The original – Harvard Memorial Hall

Memorial Hall at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, was built from 1870 to 1878 and serves as a memorial to the 136 Harvard graduates who fell on the Union side in the American Civil War. Designed in Victorian Gothic style by architects William Robert Ware and Henry Van Brunt, it is regarded as one of the most important examples of High Victorian Gothic architecture in the USA. With its striking red brick structure, grey granite details, characteristic slate roof and central tower, it is one of the best-known landmarks of the Harvard campus.

The model – CaDA C66017

The CaDA Memorial Hall brick model recreates the characteristic Gothic arches, battlements and central tower of Memorial Hall in building blocks. The red bricks contrast with grey detail elements – just like the original. As a historic building brick display model, it is designed without motor or remote control. The CaDA architecture model can be displayed together with the companion set CaDA Harvard Business School (C66016W) as a Harvard campus diorama.
