Gasson Hall, the University's signature building, is seen from the
portico of Devlin Hall, home to the McMullen Museum of Art. Gasson
was named for Boston College President Thomas I. Gasson, S.J., who
moved Boston College from Boston's South End to Chestnut Hill, but
it was known as the Recitation Building, or variously, the Tower
Building, when it opened in 1913.
