| Further Information |
This photograph is in good condition; however, the finish has suffered some damage due to abrasive wear and some minor scratches. Both the front and the back are free and clear of any impeding marks or blemishes. Converse Hall was the first permanent structure to be built on the present campus of Westminster College (Salt Lake City, Utah); it has also been the most enduring. The hall was constructed from August 1906 to July 1907 thanks to a generous donation to Westminster College's then building program fund from John Converse, a wealthy Presbyterian businessman whom was the President of the Baldwin Locomotive Works in Philadelphia. After completion, Converse Hall sat vacant due to lack of funding to supply a heating plant and adequate boarding for current and potential students. It was during this time that the college endured one if its many financial hardships during the colleges tumultuous history. While the newly built hall sat vacant it suffered a number of vandalisms and break-ins. Thieves broke |
