hall

n. hallway, corridor; large room (used for parties, meetings, etc.)

Several things are commonly known as Halls or halls. For the development of meaning of the word 'hall', see Hall (concept).A hall is fundamentally, a relatively large space enclosed by a roof and walls. In the Iron Age, a mead hall was such a simple building and was the residence of a lord and his retainers. Later, rooms were partitioned from it so that today, the hall of a house is the space inside the front door from which the rooms are reached.
