Memorial Hall, Civil War memorial building at Harvard University in Cambridge, US
Memorial Hall features three distinct sections: Sanders Theatre for performances, Annenberg Hall for dining, and Memorial Transept displaying marble tablets with names of fallen soldiers.
The High Victorian Gothic structure opened in 1874 after Harvard alumni raised $370,000 through a Committee of Fifty to honor 136 students who died in the Civil War.
Sanders Theatre maintains its position as a central venue where figures like Winston Churchill, Theodore Roosevelt, and Martin Luther King Jr delivered speeches to the public.
The building contains Annenberg Hall, which serves as the primary dining facility for Harvard freshmen, while Loker Commons underneath provides additional student spaces.
Twenty-two stained glass windows, installed between 1879 and 1902, decorate the interior walls of this National Historic Landmark designated building.
