Brandon Hall station

Brandon Hall is a light rail stop on the MBTA Green Line C branch in Brookline, Massachusetts. The station is named for Brandon Hall, a large hotel built in 1904 just south of the station.[2] After housing 400 SPARS during World War II, it burned on April 26, 1946, but the station retained its name.[3][4]
