Gasson Hall, Gothic Revival building at Boston College in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, US.
The stone construction features a prominent 200-foot bell tower, Gothic elements, and a central rotunda with ornate architectural details throughout the structure.
Completed in 1913, the building marked Boston College's relocation from South End to Chestnut Hill under the leadership of President Thomas I. Gasson.
The interior rotunda contains a marble sculpture by Scipione Tadolini depicting Saint Michael defeating Satan, alongside murals created by Francis C. Schroen.
Located at 140 Commonwealth Avenue, the building houses classrooms, study areas, banquet halls, and administrative offices for Boston College students and faculty.
The structure was built using stone quarried directly from the campus grounds, standing at the highest point of Chestnut Hill with views of Boston's skyline.
