Fohs Hall

Fohs Hall is a building located on the campus of Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It primarily houses offices and classrooms for the Department of Economics. The building is situated in the heart of the Harvard campus, near other academic buildings.

Construction of Fohs Hall was completed in 1929. It was named in honor of Ferdinand Fohs, a successful mining engineer and benefactor of Harvard University, whose financial contributions aided in its construction.
