Gasson Hall

Gasson Hall, the main building of Boston College in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, is a stunning example of Collegiate Gothic architecture, designed by Charles Donagh Maginnis in 1908. Named after the university's second founder, Thomas I. Gasson, S.J., the hall features a prominent 200-foot bell tower and intricate interior decorations, including a marble sculpture of Saint Michael and a significant mural depicting the Church's role in education. The building's design, inspired by medieval Gothic and Beaux-Arts styles, has influenced campus architecture across North America. After extensive renovations completed in 2011, Gasson Hall continues to serve as a symbol of Jesuit education and a landmark on the Boston College campus, offering visitors a glimpse into the rich history and architectural beauty of the university.
