Washington Hall, Gothic style theater building at Notre Dame University, Indiana, US.
Washington Hall is a theater building in Modern Gothic style at Notre Dame University in Indiana. It contains an octagonal-shaped main theater and multiple spaces designed for performances, rehearsals, and student activities.
The building was constructed following an 1879 fire that destroyed the original music hall. Architect Willoughby J. Edbrooke designed this structure to house the university's performing arts programs.
The building served as a stage for major performances and speeches that drew visitors and artists to the campus. Its spaces became a gathering place where the university community experienced theater and cultural events.
The building is located east of the university's Golden Dome on God Quad. Visitors can explore its architecture from outside and attend performances or events held in its various theater spaces.
The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978 as part of Notre Dame's historic district. This recognition highlights its importance in American university architecture and cultural heritage.
