'''Jerome Greene Hall''' is the beautiful home of [[Columbia Law School]]. JGH, along with [[Uris]] for the [[Business School]], [[Mudd]] for the [[SEAS|Engineering School]], and [[IAB]] for [[SIPA]], was built with donor money solicited by the dean of the school. The primary aims of each dean and donor was to build the most cost-efficient and practical building for the school.

JGH was designed by the firm Harrison and Abramowitz, better known for their work on [[Lincoln Center]]. The window boxes on the two narrow ends of the building, often described as being fit for a Mussolini-esque dictator to salute the masses, have earned the building its nickname of "the toaster."

The building's western facade is graced by Jacques Lipschitz's sculpture ''[[Bellerophon Taming Pegasus]]'', donated in [[1977]]. The sculpture is said to represent the experience CLS 1Ls endure.

In the late 1990s the Jerome Greene underwent a major renovation, resulting the construction of the new entrance, lounges, and cafeteria on [[116th Street|116th]] and [[Amsterdam Avenue|Amsterdam]]. This was followed by renovations of the building's classrooms and offices.

It is named after the wealthy alumnus [[Jerome L. Greene]].
