Q.   Where is there parking at the Danes Hall?

A.   As a historic building, Danes Hall was built to accommodate parking for only 2 horse-drawn carriages, which were tied to the street-side hitching posts. However, today there are 135 parking spots within 1 block of the building.  Fifty of these spaces are across the street in a newly paved parking lot on the corner of Granite and Washington Streets.  A map is available on request.
