| Situated on the west face of the ridge that defined the eastern edge of the UMass campus, the Clark Hill development grew to be known as the Central Residential Area. The first building of this complex was [[b:butterfield_hall|Butterfield House]] which was constructed in 1940 to the design of architect [[r:ross_louis_warren|Louis Warren Ross]], a member of the College’s class of 1917. Ross remains the most prolific architect of the campus and was responsible for the design of more than twenty structures, including nearly all the dormitories constructed between 1935 and 1963. This body of work established the Georgian Revival style as a dominant tradition for the residential quadrangles of the campus. However, Ross’s later work for the school also includes the 1956 [[s:student_union|Student Union]], which was designed in a more contemporary modern style. | Situated on the west face of the ridge that defined the eastern edge of the UMass campus, the Clark Hill development grew to be known as the Central Residential Area.
