  Davenport College - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Davenport College (colloquially often referred to as D'port) is one of the twelve residential colleges at Yale University.
Davenport College was, like many of Yale's residential colleges, designed by James Gamble Rogers and is privileged with two distinct styles of architecture: The York Street façade is constructed from gothically-detailed sandstone while the remainder of the college has been built in the red-brick Georgian style of the colonial era.
On the inner, Georgian side, the college entrance is marked by a graceful adaptation of the eastern façade of the original Massachusetts Statehouse, in which the British imperial lion and unicorn have been replaced by a pair of yales.

 Davenport College - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
This "hybridization" is meant to ease the transition from the monumental gothic streetscape of York Street, on which the western façades of the Branford and Saybrook College complex along with Jonathan Edwards College stand opposite the gothic-inspired Yale Daily News building and University Theater; the gothic dress of Davenport completes the transition.
This gothic exterior of the college is notable primarily for the fine carvings and ironwork surrounding the main gate.
Separating the two main courtyards is the Crosspiece, a north-south component of the Davenport-Pierson complex which serves as the administrative heart of Davenport College, housing both the Dean's and Master's Offices and a classroom space as well as carrels and study space extending from the college's Spitzer Library.
