Thursday Doors—Trinity College Chapel, Connecticut

~ MaryG

My college in Hartford, Connecticut had a spectacular gothic chapel on the quad. So Hogwarts! We were not an Ivy League school, but with that chapel on the quad—and scores of rich classmates from the snootiest boarding schools on the Eastern Seaboard—we could pretend we were. A couple of my more diligent classmates were able to transfer to Ivy League schools after freshmen year, but most of us just stayed and partied in Hartford.

My daughter had absolutely no interest in attending a small, private liberal arts college, but we did stop by one day when we were passing through the area. And the chapel still looked gorgeous.

The same doors as seen through an arch on the day of my graduation in 1987.

  2. That’s a beautiful door! I see the Trinity Chapel often as I drive into Hartford from the west, and I’ve seen it up close on a few occasions when traffic caused me to abandon the highway and search for a back way through Hartford. I think Trinity is still ranked fairly high in career outcomes for its graduates.
