512 Highland Road
Year Built: 1900
The story of student unrest at Cornell picks up from the late 1950s protest at President Malott's house (see 205 Oak Hill Road) and moves on to the handsome house with the beautiful west-facing porch that runs the length of 512 Highland Road. During the trying days of prolonged and sometimes violent demonstrations at Cornell in 1969, Cornell faculty gathered on this porch, hosted by English professor M.H. Abrams, founder of the Norton Anthology of English Literature, to discuss the turbulence and make plans.
