HLS Walking Tour
Hastings Hall
Originally built as a dormitory, Hastings Hall was a gift to Harvard University by Walter Hastings, whose ancestral home was nearby. The building provides living quarters for 96 students in 60 suites. The lower level houses the Publications Center, where most administrative publications are produced, as well as eight scholarly journals edited by Law School students. (The illustration depicts the Massachusetts Avenue side of Hastings Hall.)
With Hastings Hall at your back, you are facing Griswold Hall, #5, the next stop on your tour. Enter Griswold through the door facing Hastings Hall.
