...and David Brown Hall.

Both designed by John Lyman Faxon, the former was modeled after a dormitory at Harvard built by Henry Hobson Richardson, and the latter modeled after the New York townhouses pioneered by the firm of McKim, Mead, and White. Both were gifts to Princeton from Mrs. Susan Brown and were named after her brother and husband, respectively.

The placement of these four McCosh-era dormitories forms a diagonal line heading from northwest to southeast along what was the western boundary of the campus. The first and last in line, Witherspoon and Brown, are essentially square; the two middle buildings, Edwards and Dod, are both rectangular and oriented north-south. The contrasting orientations of these four buildings represents in miniature the stylistic evolution of the McCosh campus, away from quadrangles to a more park-like setting.
