Brandon Hall is a light rail stop on the MBTA Green Line C branch in Brookline, Massachusetts. The station is named for Brandon Hall, a large hotel built in 1904 just south of the station.[2] After housing 400 SPARS during World War II, it burned on April 26, 1947, but the station retained its name.[3]

Brandon Hall station has two side platforms serving the line's two tracks. It is not handicapped accessible, although a wheelchair lift allows people with disabilities to move 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 Hawes Street.[1]
