Boston - Boston University - Cornerstone Below the Charles Hayden Memorial cornerstone sits a stone step from 525 Boylston Street, the first location of Boston University's College of Business Administration, and a stone from Milford, the home town of Lee Claflin, a founder of Boston University. The "Charles Hayden Memorial Building, at 685 Commonwealth Ave., is named for Charles Hayden (1870-1937), an MIT graduate who founded the investment banking firm Hayden, Stone & Company. When Hayden died, he left a reported $50 million to a foundation in his name to educate young men. The foundation gave BU $586,000 to build a new College of Business Administration building in 1938. The building was constructed after old College of Business Administration at 525 Boylston was razed in the early part of the decade. That building, formerly part of MIT until they moved to Cambridge played a key role in Boston University's move to the Charles River Campus. The six-story limestone collegiate Gothic structure, featuring arched doorways and windows, was the first part of President Daniel L. Marsh's plan to move BU west of Kenmore Square. Construction of the other buildings on the block at 675-755 Commonwealth Ave. was interrupted by World War II and completed in 1948. / VFL.Ru — надёжный и быстрый фотохостинг с 2009 года
