North of East Branch on SR 30 is the hamlet of Harvard. This was the schoolhouse. It looks as if someone was converting it into a home by adding a dormer upstairs. It now sits empty.

Have a refreshing day, everyone...
On the way back to the car we passed the Harvard Lampoon building, built in 1909.
The Harvard Lampoon was founded in 1876, modelling itself on the British publication, "Punch". Since Punch died a sad death in 2002, it is the longest running satirical magazine in the world; hopefully it is a lot funnier than Punch. Most notably, it has been the springboard for many many highly successful comedy writers. That's a copper ibis on the roof.
I am not sure of the exact name of this church. It is located in or boardering Harvard university in Cambridge Mass. The beautiful architecture, traingle roof line and modest size make for the ultimate in quaintness.
The Harvard Lampoon Building in Cambridge, Massachusetts was built in 1909. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The bridge across the East Branch of the Delaware River inside Harvard has been closed to vehicle traffic for many years.
The building was constructed at 44 Bow Street[1] not far from Harvard Yard and close to the "Gold Coast" of residences for undergraduates of Harvard College before the creation of Harvard's "house system" (some of them now part of Adams House). Designed by Edmund M. Wheelwright, who also oversaw the construction, it was first opened on February 19, 1909. Wheelwright had attended Harvard University and was one of the founders of the Harvard Lampoon.[2] Wheelwright's design was inspired in part by an old church in Jamestown, Virginia,[3] and by the Flemish Renaissance details of Auburn Street buildings in its vicinity. The building has been described as a "Satirical Castle".[

The Harry Elkins Widener Memorial Library, housing some 3.5 million books in its "vast and cavernous" stacks, is the center-piece of the Harvard College Libraries (the libraries of Harvard's Faculty of Arts and Sciences) and, more broadly, of the entire Harvard Library system. It honors 1907 Harvard College graduate and book collector Harry Elkins Widener, and was built by his mother Eleanor Elkins Widener after his death in the sinking of the RMS Titanic in 1912.
The library's holdings, which include works in more than one hundred languages, comprise "one of the world's most comprehen-sive research collec-tions in the humanities and social sciences." Its 57 miles of shelves, along five miles of aisles on ten levels, comprise a "labyrinth" which one student "could not enter without feeling that she ought to carry a compass, a sandwich, and a whistle."
At the building's heart are the Widener Memorial Rooms, displaying papers and mementos recalling the life and death of Harry Widener, as well as the Harry Elkins Widener Collec-tion, "the precious group of rare and wonder-fully interesting books brought together by Mr. Widener", to which was later added one of the few perfect Gutenberg Bibles—the object of a 1969 burglary attempt conjectured by Harvard's police chief to have been inspired by the heist film Topkapi.
Campus legends holding that Harry Widener's fate led to the institu-tion of an undergrad-uate swimming-proficiency requirement, and that an additional donation from his mother subsidizes ice cream at Harvard meals, are without foundation.
Legend holds that to spare future Harvard men her son's fate, Eleanor Widener insisted, as a condition of her gift, that learning to swim be made a requirement for graduation. (This requirement, the Harvard Crimson once elaborated erroneously, was "dropped in the late 1970s because it was deemed discriminatory against physically disabled students".) "Among the many myths relating to Harry Elkins Widener, this is the most prevalent", says Harvard's "Ask a Librarian" service. Though Harvard has had swimming requirements at various times (e.g. for rowers on the Charles River, or as a now-defunct test for entering freshmen) Bentinck-Smith writes that "There is absolutely no evidence in the President's papers, or the faculty's, to indicate that [Eleanor Widener] was, as a result of the Titanic disaster, in any way responsi-ble for [any] compulsory swimming test."
Another story, holding that Eleanor Widener donated a further sum to underwrite perpetual availability of ice cream (purportedly Harry Widener's favorite dessert) in Harvard dining halls, is also without foundation. A Widener curator's compilation of "fanciful oral history" recited by student tour guides includes "Flowers mysteriously appear every morning outside the Widener Room" and "Harry used to have carnations dyed crimson to remind him of Harvard, and so his mother kept up the tradition" in the flowers displayed in the Memorial Rooms.
