About this venue
Give your event the royal treatment at Boston University’s Dahod Family Alumni Center at the Castle. This extraordinary Tudor Revival mansion tucked away on Bay State Road, a hidden gem just beyond the bustle of the city and overlooking the Charles River. Completed in 1915, its lavishly furnished and meticulously maintained interior features mahogany paneling, beamed ceilings, a massive fireplace, and crystal chandeliers.
Our event spaces
Great Hall
While the interior of the Dahod Family Alumni Center was executed in several period styles, the result is still English and harmonious. The Great Hall, with its dark mahogany paneling, beamed ceiling, and massive hooded fireplace, is distinctly medieval in feeling. Suspended from the two-story ceiling is a stained-glass lantern which, according to tradition, came from Arundel Castle, the ancient family home of the Dukes of Norfolk. It is made of gilded metal, and each colored glass pane bears a coat of arms and the motto Nil desperandum (Never despair). A gilt crusader stands leaning on his sword between the panes of glass.
Dining Room
Directly across the Great Hall from the Library is the Georgian Revival Dining Room. Fluted, engaged columns frame the green marble fireplace, and the Tudor rose is once again evident in the robust garlands of fruits and flowers ornamenting the walls and ceiling. The tapestry on the wall opposite the fireplace, depicting four women and the two men in the landscape, is of French origin.
Music Room
The elegant Music Room at the front of the house is also done in Classical Revival style. The light color, the large windows, and the mirror over the mantle suggest the joyful and opulent character of the dances and concerts for which this room was designed.
