Keating Hall, Gothic university building at Fordham University, Bronx, US
The four-story Keating Hall displays strong Gothic architectural elements with a central tower rising above the main entrance at Fordham University's Rose Hill campus.
Construction of Keating Hall concluded in 1936 with a total cost of 1.3 million dollars, named after Joseph Keating who served as university treasurer from 1910 to 1948.
The building houses the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, three auditoriums, and the Blue Chapel, functioning as a central hub for academic activities.
The front steps of Keating Hall serve as the traditional location for Fordham University's annual commencement ceremonies since its first graduation event in 1936.
During World War II, the New York City authorities designated Keating Hall as an air raid shelter, using its tower as the northeast Bronx observation post.
