Analysis of Faculty Housing 1940

Map of College Properties (not to scale) From 1935-1936 Bennington College Bulletin. Hall House, where Karl Polanyi lived for a short time, is located in the lower left.

The Hall House of today appears to be 34 West Road in Old Bennington.  This was confirmed by Tyler Resch, a former Bennington College faculty member and current Bennington Museum Historian/Archivist.  The home was also identified in a Bennington Historical Society film entitled, "Monument Avenue" (28:46), by Jackie Marro, as one built by Hiland Hall for his son.
