Horchow Hall (Pelatiah Perit House)

Horchow Hall, home to the Jackson Institute of Global Affairs, is a grand nineteenth century mansion on the corner of Sachem Street and Hillhouse Avenue. Set in the Hillhouse Avenue Historic District, the brown stuccoed, Italian Renaissance Revival style building is one of the few surviving examples of architect Sidney Mason Stone’s work. Horchow Hall, once the residence of an elite New Haven family, was bought by Yale University in the 1930s. Today, the building has been repurposed for the Jackson Institute while still maintaining its original architectural character and integrity. The space is used for the offices of professors, fellows, and administrators, as well as hosting Jackson Institute events. Horchow is an historic treasure of Yale’s campus.
