Fun Facts

The Modern Theatre Residence Hall incorporates the façade of the original Modern Theatre, a historic movie palace built in 1914, which is now part of Suffolk University's campus.

The building combines a restored historic façade with a modern interior, reflecting a blend of Boston's rich history and contemporary design.

This residence hall is not just a place to stay; it also hosts various student activities and events, fostering a vibrant community atmosphere.

Before its transformation into a residence hall, the Modern Theatre was known for its role in the early 20th-century film industry, showcasing silent films and talkies.

The restoration of the Modern Theatre was part of a broader initiative to revitalize the Washington Street Theatre District in Boston.
