Brandon Hall station is a light rail stop on the MBTA Green Line C branch in Brookline, Massachusetts. The station's name is an anachronism, as it was named for Brandon Hall, a large hotel built in 1904 just south of the station which burned down on April 26, 1946, after housing 400 SPARS during World War II.[2][3][4]

Brandon Hall station has two side platforms serving the line's two tracks. It is not accessible, although a wheelchair lift allows accessible passage 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]
Track work in 2018–19, which included replacement of platform edges at several stops, triggered requirements for accessibility modifications at those stops. As of May 2021[update], the MBTA expects construction at Brandon Hall and seven other C Branch stations to begin in 2023–24.[5]
