This 100-x-60-foot stone barn was considered as a possible residence for the Jesuits (assuming a goodly retrofit); though that idea was not pursued, the site became the exact location of St. Mary’s Hall. A stone wall runs downhill from the barn, ending in what is now the middle of Maloney Hall. Stones from throughout Boston College’s 35-acre property were used in the construction of St. Mary’s and Gasson Hall.

An orchard of cherries and pears was already partially lost to the loamstripping done in preparation for street-building. Amos Adams Lawrence had started the plantings in the 1860s and 1870s, and, according to a nephew’s account, “to it he rode almost every day in the year . . . giving play to his taste for farming and country life.”
