Smith Alumnae Gymnasium, Historic gymnasium at Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts, US.
The Smith Alumnae Gymnasium features red brick walls with brownstone trim and a steep hipped roof topped by a square cupola at its center.
Constructed in 1890 by architect William C. Brocklesby, the gymnasium was among nine buildings he designed for the Smith College campus in Northampton.
The gymnasium made history in 1892 as the location of the first formal women's basketball game, marking a milestone in women's sports development.
The building now functions as an extension of Neilson Library, providing digital media labs and study spaces accessible to Smith College community members.
Community protests in the 1970s prevented the demolition of this National Register of Historic Places building when Neilson Library planned its expansion.
