Summary	A view of the Round Hill School in Northampton, Mass. Round Hill was an elite preparatory school for boys that was in existence from 1823 until 1824. The lithograph shows the school after the main buildings were expanded with wings and an ell in 1826/1827. The view shows the surrounding land and other buildings in the vicinity, including two Greek Revival residences designed by Ithiel Town: the Charles Dewey house (later the Capen School and later owned by Smith College) and the Joseph Bowers mansion. Two men, one on a horse, occupy the center foreground. One of at least seven drawings and lithographs of Round Hill created by Eliza Goodridge between 1824 and 1829.
