Alexander Johnston Hall, Historical school building at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, United States.

Alexander Johnston Hall features a two-story wing and a third-story addition, constructed with red bricks and white stone accents at College Avenue intersection.

Built in 1830 by architect Nicholas Wyckoff, the structure initially housed Rutgers Preparatory School and two student literary societies until 1963.

The building received its name in 1964 to honor Alexander Johnston, an 1870 graduate who taught classics and contributed to American historical scholarship.

Located at the junction of College Avenue and Somerset Street, the hall maintains regular opening hours and includes informational markers near the entrance.

The hall stands as the second oldest building at Rutgers University, with architectural modifications by Henry Janeway Hardenberg, who designed several campus landmarks.
