Completed in 1868 and designed by Henry Austin, the Betts House (also known as the Davies Mansion) is a 21,000-square-foot Second Empire mansion in New Haven's Prospect Hill Historic District. When built, it was the largest single-family home in the city. After serving as the home of the Culinary Institute of America beginning in 1947, the building fell into disuse following Yale University's acquisition in 1972. Recognized by preservationists as the finest example of Second French Empire Revival architecture in New Haven, it was saved from demolition in the 1990s and extensively renovated in 2002, now serving as home to the Yale Center for the Study of Globalization.
