Austin Hall, Historic academic building at Harvard Law School in Cambridge, United States.
Austin Hall features dark Longmeadow brownstone contrasting with Ohio sandstone, displaying three rounded arches at its main entrance and a corner turret.
Edward Austin donated $135,000 in 1884 to construct this building in memory of his brother Samuel, making it the first dedicated Harvard Law School facility.
The second floor houses the Ames Courtroom where law students participate in moot courts, continuing a long tradition of legal education.
The structure contains multiple lecture rooms, administrative offices, and meeting spaces, serving the daily operations of Harvard Law School faculty and students.
An inscription from Exodus 18:20 appears below the roofline, instructing about teaching ordinances and laws to guide people's path.
