Gibbons Mansion, currently known as Mead Hall, is a historical mansion on Drew University campus in Madison, Morris County, New Jersey, United States. It houses the university's administrative offices today.

It was built by William Gibbons beginning in 1833 in the heart of his 96-acre property; it was first occupied in 1836.^[3] Gibbons’ only son, William Heyward, sold the vacant mansion and estate to Daniel Drew in 1867 for $140,000. Drew, in turn, the Drew Theological Seminary, named in his honor. The Gibbons mansion was renamed Mead Hall, in honor of Drew's wife, Roxanna Mead.^[4]

Mead Hall was devastated by a fire in 1989, reopened in 1993, and despite the damage, is still “considered the finest example of Greek Revival architecture north of the Mason-Dixon line."^[5]
