Description: United States Coast Guard Academy New London, CT Hamilton Hall ----------------------------------------------------- The United States Coast Guard Academy was constructed on 40 acres of land on the banks of the Thames River in New London, Connecticut beginning in 1931. The Secretary of the Treasury, Andrew Mellon laid the cornerstone of Hamilton Hall into which cadets moved in 1932. The academy, at the request of President John F. Kennedy, was racially integrated in 1962. In 1976, Congress mandated that it accept women cadets. Hamilton Hall is the stately and spectacular centerpiece of the academy and it was named after the founding father of what later became the United States Coast Guard, Alexander Hamilton, the first Secretary of the Treasury. Hamilton Hall is the academy’s monumental administration building. Decades ago, the famous British bone china company, Wedgewood, supplier of fine dinnerware to the Royal Family, made a commemorative plate of the United States Coast Guard Academy’s Hamilton Hall. Few such plates have survived, but the brick and mortar building itself continues to serve as the heart of the academy and it continues to inspire patriotism in all who behold it with its soaring clock tower and magnificent flagpole gracing its front lawn.
