Brandon Hall station serves as a light rail stop on the MBTA Green Line C branch located in Brookline, Massachusetts. This station consists of two side platforms alongside two tracks and lacks full accessibility, although a wheelchair lift provides access between the differing levels of Beacon Street at this location. In 2011, Brandon Hall recorded 356 boardings on weekdays, ranking it as the second-lowest in usage on the C branch, just above .
The MBTA intends to merge Brandon Hall with the nearby Fairbanks Street station into one accessible facility by late 2026.
History
The station derives its name from Brandon Hall, a substantial hotel erected in 1903 immediately south of where the station now stands. This hotel was lost to a fire on April 26, 1946, having previously accommodated 400 SPARS during the Second World War.
During 2018–19, track maintenance that included replacing platform edges led to mandated accessibility improvements at several stops. By December 2022, design progress for Brandon Hall and seven other stations on the C Branch had reached 15%. The designs proposed in February 2024 recommended combining Fairbanks Street and Brandon Hall into a single station positioned between their existing sites, featuring accessible ramps on Beacon Street at Lancaster Terrace and Mason Path.
In May 2024, the Federal Transit Administration granted $67 million to the MBTA to build accessible platforms at fourteen stops across the B and C branches, incorporating the new combined station. , completion of construction is anticipated by fall 2026.
