Memorial Hall, University building and war memorial on South Limestone Street, Lexington, United States.

Memorial Hall stands 130 feet tall with Corinthian columns, a clock tower, and a steeple at the University of Kentucky campus entrance.

The construction of Memorial Hall began in 1919 through public donations and reached completion in 1929, commemorating Kentucky soldiers who died in World War I.

The central hall displays cases with names of students from Kentucky counties who served during both World Wars, preserving their memory for future generations.

The Edward T. Breathitt Auditorium inside Memorial Hall contains 860 seats and hosts regular lectures, performances, graduation ceremonies, and student gatherings.

A 1934 Works Progress Administration fresco by Ann Rice O'Hanlon in the lobby depicts scenes from Lexington and central Kentucky history.
