Stephen Minot Weld Sr. (1806 – 1867), scion of the Weld Family of Boston, was a schoolmaster, real estate investor and politician. After his death, the Harvard dormitory Weld Hall was raised in his honor.[1]
^Note that Weld Hall is one of two important buildings at Harvard that bear the Weld name. The other, Weld Boathouse is named for George Walker Weld, the nephew of the Weld discussed in this article.
