Boylston Hall is a Harvard University classroom and academic office building lecture hall near the southwest corner of Harvard Yard, Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Ward Nicholas Boylston had left a bequest to Harvard for the building in 1828.

It was clad in stone, as specified by the donor, specifically Rockport granite,[1] and had a hip roof.

[3] It originally served as a chemistry building, with a laboratory and classrooms, and later housed the anatomical museum of Jeffries Wyman, Professor of Comparative Anatomy, who in 1866 became the first curator of the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology,[4] as well as a mineralogical collection.

[2] Boylston Hall was gut renovated in 1959 by the architectural firm of Benjamin Thompson and Associates, and is considered an early example of the reuse of sound old buildings ("adaptive reconstruction"),[5][6] "juxtaposing glass and steel with historic details".
