York House

The York House was home to PHIL YORK ’74, PHYLLIS YORK BROOKSHIRE ’82 and WILL YORK ’85 before it was given to the school by their father, J. Willie York, in 1979, serving as the president’s residence and administrative offices until the current Head of School house was built in 2003.

A favorite indoor spot for then-Upper Schoolers was the Senior Hall, with comfy couches, posters and the occasional decoration, including streamers, as captured in this 1981 Corvus photo, and a parked car — a classic senior prank memorialized in the 1984 Corvus.
