From Freshman Dean’s Office site: Matthews Hall, completed in 1872 and named after Nathan Matthews, was home to Matt Damon, Chuck Schumer, and Senator Barney Frank. Thanks in part to two main foyers in the building, freshmen within the dorm get to know each other well. Situated in the heart of Harvard Yard, Matthews suites are doubles or triples with shared hallway bathrooms and spacious suite common rooms. Many past residents say they will really miss Matthews’ centralized location, with its view of the Yard proximity to the rest of the freshmen dorms and shops along Massachusetts Avenue.
