Shelton Hall (Boston University)

Shelton Hall (Boston University)

. The dining hall of Shelton serves students who reside in the lower Bay State Road area.

Built in 1923, the building was one of the first Sheraton hotels and above the entrance the name "Sheraton" can still be seen engraved in the concrete. In 1954, BU bought the edifice changing its title to the present name.

The building is purported by the school to be known for its quiet atmosphere and is primarily inhabited by upperclassmen. Playwright Eugene O'Neill died in suite 401 on the 4th floor of Shelton Hall. In his honor, the 4th floor was named a specialty housing area called the Writer's Corridor. School folklore holds that the building is haunted by the playwright.
