Packard Hall, University building in Medford, United States.
Packard Hall displays Italianate architecture with ornate details, corner quoins, and a half-hexagonal turret featuring neo-gothic trimmed windows.
Built in 1856 as Middle Hall, the structure became Tufts University's second building on Walnut Hill and functioned as a library from 1885 until Eaton Library's completion.
The Department of Political Science occupies Packard Hall, contributing to the educational environment of Tufts University's main campus.
A 2008 renovation added a four-story tower with an elevator and second stairway, making the building accessible to all visitors.
The building received its current name in 1908, honoring Sylvanus Packard, an early benefactor who supported the university's development.
