<p>Yes, the Yard is special in so many ways, not the least of which is location, aesthetics, and walking proximity to a hopping post-card beautiful, boutiquied colonial community. A tough scenario to top.</p>
<p>Still, West Point’s history and unified magnificence overlooking that Hudson gorge … that’s pretty special, too. AF and CG are wonderful institutions that have a propensity to look as though they were built on the cheap and current flat-roofed modernity of the moment. Both missed their boats and opportunities to make a real impression on their lovely locations, imo. Cannot speak to KP.</p>
