Barton Hall was designed by the architect Lewis F. Pilcher of the State of New York, and opened in 1917. Its style is "Gothic Revival" and the exterior is native
Cayuga bluestone. It was originally designed as a drill hall for the Department of Military Science.

Erected by New York State, the building is named after Colonel Frank A. Barton '91. Colonel Barton was one of the first two Cornell students to receive an army
commission in Cornell's Military Science Program, and was commandant at Cornell from 1904 to 1908. During WWI, Barton Hall functioned as an airplane hangar.

For a long time, Barton Hall was the largest unpillared room in existence. The interior of the building covers almost 2 acres, and includes a 1/4 mile indoor track, serves as an auditorium/concert hall, and has been used for its basketball courts.
