The beautiful Maseeh Hall is one of the largest undergrad dorms at MIT and also the newest. The building dates back to 1901 when it was the Riverbank Court Hotel. In 1938, the building was turned into graduate housing and was known as the Graduate House and then Ashdown House. The dorm was formally dedicated as Maseeh Hall in 2011, named after Fariborz Maseeh ScD '90. #aroundMIT #cambridge #history #spring #maseeh
