Inside the Davenport Cottage’s infamous two-story party suite, stacks of chocolate bars, San Pellegrino, Bounty paper towel rolls and cereal boxes clutter the bar. An empty cooler from the past weekend lies in the other corner, the tap dried out. In the entryway door, beer bottles and other remnants of Saturday night’s party clutter the entrance. But another kind of...

Getting to Charlotte Rogers’ GRD ’09 duplex in New Haven’s East Rock neighborhood, requires a walk all the way up Whitney Avenue — beyond Science Hill — until the magisterial buildings of Yale give way to small law firms and dentist offices and, finally, to rows of small pastel houses.
