The San Francisco Guide says this about Memorial Hall:

Adjoining on the south is the center of Stanford’s dramatic activities, MEMORIAL HALL, completed in 1937 at a cost of $600,000. The main theater seats 1,700; the rehearsal theater, 197. Among the University’s productions have been Sophocles’ Antigone (1903), Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night (1938, and The Vikings in Helgoland (1938).

Also known as the Memorial Auditorium, the hall was dedicated in 1937 to those students who died in World War I. Construction of the building was funded primarily through student contributions. The Memorial Auditorium is the largest indoor performance space at Stanford University.

The Memorial Hall can be seen in Google Street View.
