Additional architecture info

I believe the Emma Hartman Noyes House should be mentioned in the architecture section of the page, as it was designed by Eero Saarinen. It was actually done in the same year as his tulip collection for Knoll, which is quite well known. I think the furniture from that collection is featured in the dorm building itself as well? I am unfamiliar with the Wikipedia interface so I don't understand how to edit the article, but if anyone is interested, I would really appreciate a mention of Saarinen and his work added to the page. - Auraux (talk) 19:51, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Auraux, good idea! I think that until recently there had been a bit about Noyes House in the article but an editor swept through and removed all the unreferenced statements in the article, which the Noyes House paragraph was. If you have a draft for a sentence or two you want to include about Noyes, feel free to post it here (ideally with references, though don't worry if they aren't properly formatted – I can help with that) and I can work to incorporate it in. —⁠Collin^{t c} 15:19, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
