A walk around the legendary "Tomb" of the Skull and Bones society at Yale University. New Haven, CT. November 2025. 💀🦴

Standing on High Street, the Skull and Bones building is the oldest fraternity house in the United States still standing. Built in 1856, this windowless, brownstone structure—known to its members as the "Temple"—was designed to be a permanent sanctuary for one of the most exclusive secret societies in history. Its architecture is a haunting mix of Egyptian and Doric styles, featuring massive iron doors and a flat roof that once sparked rumors of secret ceremonies and elite gatherings.

Beyond its forbidding exterior lies over 170 years of Yale history. Originally a single block, the building was expanded in 1883 and 1903 to its current double-block form. While outsiders (or "barbarians," as the society calls them) can only see the sandstone pylons and padlocked gates, the Tomb remains a symbol of the deep-rooted power and mystery that defines the Yale campus.
