| Leach Hall is an approximately 33,000 square foot residential building on the Amherst campus of the University of Massachusetts, one of ten structures comprising the [[n:northeast_residential|Northeast Residential Area]]. In 1953 Crabtree House and Leach House were added to the complex, forming the beginnings of the north and south sides of the complex. Later buildings completed the east and west sides of the complex consistent with the existing spatial organization. In 1954, Arnold House completed the western edge of the area. A 1959 campus plan shows the complex complete, with a large parking area to the east of Arnold House in place. A 1969 oblique aerial photograph confirms the location of the parking area. A sand volleyball court has been added to the area to the east of the parking area. Although a new addition, the volleyball court does not impact the open character of the space, which is defined by a strong east-west axis of open lawn. Historic photographs do not show vegetation associated with Crabtree House or Leach House. All vegetation at the houses, consisting primarily of trees over lawn and shrubs at the buildings’ foundations, are new additions from the time the buildings were constructed. | Leach Hall is an approximately 33,000 square foot residential building on the Amherst campus of the University of Massachusetts, one of ten structures comprising the [[n:northeast_residential|Northeast Residential Area]].
