Grand Prospect Hall, Historic banquet hall in South Park Slope, Brooklyn, US.

The four-story Victorian building features buff-gray brick exterior, metal decorations, multiple reception rooms, and a large central ballroom with two balcony levels.

John Kolle established the original Prospect Hall in 1892, which burned down in 1900 and was rebuilt in 1903 with architect Ulrich J. Huberty's French Renaissance design.

The venue served numerous community functions, from German society gatherings to Polish-American community center activities throughout different ownership periods.

The National Register of Historic Places listed building contained multiple facilities including a grand ballroom, reception rooms, parlors, and basement entertainment spaces.

The building gained local recognition through television commercials in the 1980s featuring owners Michael and Alice Halkias promoting their venue with specific catchphrases.
