Horchow Hall, also known as the Peletiah Perit House, is a historic building on the campus of Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, U.S.

History

The house was built in 1860 for Pelatiah Perit.[1] It was home to the Yale School of Management until 2013, when the Jackson School of Global Affairs (formerly named the Jackson Institute for Global Affairs) moved into the house.[2][3]

Architectural significance

The house was designed by architect Sidney Mason Stone in the Renaissance Revival style, as an Italian villa.[1] It includes a "cupola, elaborate scroll brackets supporting window pediments and single-story front entry portico with paired Corinthian columns sheltering a semicircular-arch doorway with rope molding bordering the frame, large room addition on rear."[1]

It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a contributing property to the Hillhouse Avenue Historic District since September 13, 1985.[1]
