Due to its function, the Gym's appearance bore subtle but substantial differences from the dormitories of Little and Blair. In particular, it had a symmetrical floorplan and less ornamentation than either of the dormitories. Indeed, it strongly resembled some of buildings designed for West Point by Ralph Adams Cram in 1900.
