Photo is mounted on very sturdy, cardboard-like paper. It is in good condition. Pencil handwriting on the back reads, "Student Body 1924-25-". A purplish stamp in the corner says "SHIPLERS [,] COMMERCIAL PHOTOGRAPHY [,] SALT LAKE CITY. 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 1907 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 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 his time that the college endured one of the many financial hardships in its tumultuous history. While the newly built hall sat vacant it suffered a number of vandalisms and break-ins.
