Charlesgate Hall

Title

Charlesgate Hall

Description

Exterior of Charlesgate Hall, south side from Marlborough St. Emerson College purchased the Charlesgate Hall residence hall from Boston University in 1981 and sold it in 1995 when Emerson dorms were moved to the Little Building. It was originally opened in the late 19th century as the Charlesgate Hotel, designed by architect, J. Pickering Putnam as the centerpiece of Kenmore Square. The luxury hotel was a premiere location during Boston's guilded age. Numerous student reports of supernatural activity over the years have given Charlesgate a reputation as one of the most haunted locations in Boston. The building consists of three addresses: Four Charlesgate East, 535 Beacon Street, and Ten Charlesgate East.
