Architects: Smith Edwards of Hartford, Connecticut

The renovation plans for Trinity College were drawn up with the help of Trinity graduate Peter Knapp. Knapp, a college archivist, found the original building plans designed by Burgess and carried out by Francis H. Kimball. The 14 month long renovation included stabilizing and reinforcing 88 stone dormers and restoring and replacing 1,200 cast iron windows. Allen Architectural Metals Inc. was responsible for the replacement and restoration of the cast iron windows which included 900 functioning cast iron frames and sashes fully glazed with hardware and over 300 leaded and stained glass windows fully glazed including hardware. Allen Architectural Metals Inc. also undertook the tedious task of installing and making functional all of the windows in this multi-story, 925’ long building.
