Brattle Hall, Historical building near Harvard Square in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA
The Dutch Colonial Revival style structure, designed by Longfellow, Alden & Harlow in 1889, features brick ends and houses multiple community spaces.
The Cambridge Social Union constructed Brattle Hall to accommodate their library and provide meeting spaces when they moved into the adjacent William Brattle House.
The building now contains the Brattle Theatre, a repertory movie house operated by a local non-profit organization since 1953.
Visitors can find dining options within the building, including a restaurant in the basement level and a coffee shop on the first floor.
The National Register of Historic Places added Brattle Hall to its listings in 1982, and the building became part of Harvard Square Historic District in 1988.
