The 150-year-old Second Empire-style mansion on Front Street — formerly known as Front Street Dorm and home to two dozen boarding students and six to eight day student affiliates each year — has a new name: George H. Guptill ’57 House.
It’s a fitting tribute to a generous alumnus and longtime supporter of the Academy. Guptill is a since-grad donor and has long enabled students from his native Raymond, New Hampshire, to attend the Exeter Summer academic enrichment program. He has also made significant gifts to the Academy Music Department: a 1927 Steinway Model M piano and a commissioned Taylor & Boody Continuo pipe organ.
Guptill, who today lives in Exeter, knows support for buildings and infrastructure is an institutional priority, and he relishes that a former day student’s name adorns one of the Academy’s dorms.
