Converse Hall is one of the oldest and central buildings on the campus of Westminster College in Salt Lake City, Utah. It is a 3-1/2 story masonry structure, built out of red brick and white stone in the Jacobethan and Tudor Revival styles. It was the first building erected for the college in 1906, to a design by the Salt Lake City architectural firm of Erskine and Liljenberg[2], and is a regionally rare example of this unusual architectural style.[3] The building suffered extensive damage in a fire early in the morning of 12 March 1926, but was rebuilt and re-opened in September of that year.[4]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[1]
