Hello, Maureen.
The Scroll and Key building at Yale was designed by Richard Morris
Hunt, an alumnus of the École de Beaux-Arts in Paris.
"Richard Morris Hunt… designed the Theological library, and Marquand
chapel at Princeton; the Devinity college and the Scroll and Key
building at Yale (1869) which were encrusted with trefoils,
fleurs-de-lis, and flying buttresses looking like High Victorian
Gothic…"

"The alumni of… Scroll & Key (1842) incorporated as the Kingsley
Trust Association in 1860 and had Richard Morris Hunt design their
Spanish Moorish tomb of 1870 (Fig. 11). The building is a cube of
marble 'advertising mystery and inviting speculation' and cost about
$50,000."
