Alexander Hall was built in 1892-94. Architect was William Appleton Potter and the Bas Relief Sculpture is by J Massey Rhind.
The name honors three generations of members of the Alexander family who served as trustees to the University.
This 900 seat hall was built to accommodate large meetings and commencement for students and faculty.
Over time, the Hall became available to the public and now holds town meetings as well as visiting concert groups.
Many vocal and performing groups seek this auditorium because the acoustics inside the rusticated brownstone and red granite walls and turrets rival Carnegie Hall.
