As with Campus before it, Cannon did not seek to compete for architectural bragging rights with the other clubs when it replaced the old Osborn house with a new structure. Indeed, with its singular kitchen wing, mammoth chimney, and use of the same stone as the university, Cannon looks more like a transplant from the campus than a Prospect Avenue club.
This vaguely academic style would prove durable, however, and later inspired other clubs such as Dial and Cloister that were built of the same local stone as the University.
