Brandon Hall station is a light rail stop on the MBTA Green Line C branch in Brookline, Massachusetts. The station's name is an anachronism, as it was named for Brandon Hall, a large hotel built in 1904 just south of the station which burned down on April 26, 1946, after housing 400 SPARS during World War II.[1] [2] [3]
Brandon Hall station has two side platforms serving the line's two tracks. It is not accessible, although a wheelchair lift allows accessible passage between the two elevations of the two halves of Beacon Street at the station. With 356 daily passengers by a 2011 count, Brandon Hall was the second-least-used stop on the C branch after .
Track work in 2018–19, which included replacement of platform edges at several stops, triggered requirements for accessibility modifications at those stops.[4] Design work for Brandon Hall and seven other C Branch stations was 15% complete by December 2022.[5] Designs shown in February 2024 called for Fairbanks Street and Brandon Hall stations to be consolidated into a single station between their present locations. Accessible ramps to the north side of Beacon Street would be built at Lancaster Terrace and Mason Path.[6] In May 2024, the Federal Transit Administration awarded the MBTA $67 million to construct accessible platforms at 14 B and C branch stops including the combined station., construction is expected to be complete in fall 2026.[7]
