College Fells Nassau Street Horse Chestnut Tree
Due to a serious fungal disease, College was obliged to fell the horse chestnut tree at the entrance to the Arts Building on Nassau Street. The tree, which had undergone extensive examination by experts, was cut down because of the potential danger it posed to the public.
The horse chestnut, which was planted in the late 1870s in the area known as the Fellows’ Garden, was retained in the Arts Building development when it was completed in 1978. The tree served as a well-known meeting place and a landmark from that time.
