Yale University
Filming of the new Indiana Jones movie (due in 2008), in New Haven, CT. This scene takes place in the 1950s and this area of the city was re-done for the time period including the old cars! This scroll work is above the fence of one of Yale's dorms, and was not part of the shot. However, Yale's architecture IS amazing.
