An historically preserved location, Russell Lounge has a working gas fireplace, an intricately carved cathedral ceiling, and carefully preserved wood features and carvings. The room now serves a variety of groups and events including the Headmaster’s Annual Holiday Reception, small concerts, guests of the Admissions Office, and the occasional history class.
