Bartlett Gymnasium
5640 South University Ave
Chicago, IL 60637
Opened: January 29, 1904
Bartlett Gymnasium is a former athletic facility on the campus of the University of Chicago in Chicago, Illinois, that has been converted into a campus dining hall, named Barlett Hall. Construction of the building took place between November, 1901 and January, 1904 on land owned by the university. The cost of construction, however, was covered by Hibbard, Spencer, Bartlett & Company owner Adolphus C. Bartlett. The gymnasium was built as a memorial for A.C. Bartlett's son, Frank Dickinson Bartlett, who died of appendicitis while traveling in Munich, Bavaria, July 15, 1900, at the age of twenty. Upon completion, the Gothic style building was 200 feet by 80 feet with 2 stories and a basement. The top floor contains the main gymnasium measuring 75 feet by 195 feet, that could be utilized for men's physical education courses as well as being the facility for the Chicago Maroons men's basketball team to compete.

On Friday, January 29, 1904, the formal opening of the Frank Dickinson Bartlett Gymnasium took place in front of 1,000 friends of the university, which included members of the faculty, alumni, student body, and university trustees. The dedication ceremony took place immediately following the annual football dinner hosted by President Harper.
